Walks off Colorado
Caissie went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Marlins' 4-3 win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Analysis
The lefty-hitting Caissie opened Sunday's game on the bench due to the Rockies sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound. Caissie entered the game in the eighth inning but had another at-bat in the ninth, and he sent Marlins fans home happy after his walk-off, two-run homer to right-center field. Through his first three games with Miami, Caissie has gone 5-for-10 with two doubles, one steal and four RBI.

Hitting bench against southpaw
Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Analysis
The 23-year-old started the first two games of the season and has gone 4-for-8 with two doubles, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored, but he'll take a seat Sunday with lefty Jose Quintana pitching for Colorado. However, the left-handed-hitting Caissie doesn't seem to be in a strict platoon, given that he started against left-hander Kyle Freeland on Opening Day. Austin Slater will draw the starting nod in right field in the series finale.

Contributes in Miami debut
Caissie went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Rockies.
Analysis
Starting at DH and batting eighth against southpaw Kyle Freeland, Caissie got the Marlins on the board in his debut for the team with an RBI double in the second inning. Caissie also struck out twice, however, and his ability to make consistent contact against big-league pitching is still the biggest question mark in his profile. The 23-year-old old, acquired from the Cubs in the offseason, has nothing left to prove in the minors after slashing .281/.379/.505 with 41 homers in 226 games at Triple-A Iowa over the last two seasons.

Late addition to lineup
Caissie will bat eighth and DH during Friday's game against the Rockies.
Analysis
Caissie was left off the initial lineup due to the same-handed matchup against southpaw Kyle Freeland. However, Caissie will join the starting nine after Christopher Morel (oblique) was scratched. Connor Norby shifts from DH to first base, opening the DH spot for Caissie, who will be making his Marlins debut.
