Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in March of 2025.
Likely out until mid-September
Pauley is expected to miss about four weeks after straining his right oblique over the weekend, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
That timeline would have the third baseman out until mid-September, and it's possible the Marlins end up shutting him down completely if his recovery has any hiccups. Pauley has slashed .273/.385/.527 over 25 games since the All-Star break with four home runs and an impressive 10:11 BB:K, but his prolonged absence could give Connor Norby (wrist) a chance to reclaim the starting job at the hot corner heading into 2026. While both players remain on the shelf for the time being, Javier Sanoja will likely see the bulk of the playing time at third base.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pauley has put up impressive stats since getting drafted in the 13th round in 2022, and he surprisingly appears to be on the cusp of making the Padres' Opening Day roster. A lefty-hitting 23-year-old capable of playing the outfield and the infield, Pauley's raw power and speed grade out as average (50-grade) at best, but he's gotten the absolute most of his abilities thus far. A lot of his strong performances have come while he was older than the average prospect in a league and/or in a hitting-friendly environment, but his strikeout rate has always been below 22 percent, and he is a career .302 hitter. Pauley also gets strong reports for his makeup, and his defensive versatility will help him get at-bats.
