Connor Norby of the Miami Marlins faces a significant setback as he undergoes surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his left wrist. The operation, performed by Dr. Don Sheridan, is expected to sideline him for six to eight weeks. Initially, Norby had been dealing with wrist inflammation but was showing signs of improvement prior to the injury. In his rookie season, he recorded a .241 batting average with six home runs and 26 RBIs over 72 games.

The Marlins will need to adjust their lineup during his absence, with Graham Pauley and Javier Sanoja stepping in at third base. Pauley has already played 23 games at the position this season, while Sanoja has made nine appearances. Manager Clayton McCullough expressed hope that Norby would have made further strides if not for the injury, but now the team must regroup as they begin a critical six-game homestand.
