What's Happening?

Owen Caissie of the Miami Marlins has been cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville. Caissie, who has been on the 10-day injured list due to a right calf strain since July 9, is set to play three games with Jacksonville before being

re-evaluated. Prior to his injury, Caissie had a .239/.297/.459 slash line with 12 home runs, four stolen bases, 50 RBIs, and 30 runs over 80 games. His potential return this weekend could provide a boost to the Marlins' lineup as they continue their season.

Why It's Important?

Caissie's return is significant for the Marlins as they look to strengthen their roster during the latter part of the season. His offensive contributions, including home runs and RBIs, are valuable assets for the team. The rehab assignment will allow the Marlins to assess his readiness and ensure he is fully recovered before rejoining the main roster. This move is part of the team's broader strategy to maintain competitiveness and improve their standings in the league.
