The Marlins are expected to recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The infielder will get his first look in the big leagues after batting .232 with 12 home runs and 28 stolen bases over 106 games for Jacksonville. The Marlins haven't announced who will be moved off the 26-man active roster in a corresponding move, but Graham Pauley could be headed to the 10-day injured list after experiencing side discomfort during Sunday's win over the Red Sox. Acosta has played exclusively second base and shortstop in the minors this season, so he would likely be in line for a depth role rather than being a candidate to potentially replace Pauley as the Marlins' primary third baseman.
