Playing third base Sunday
Pauley (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.
Analysis
After experiencing tightness in his right forearm early in camp, Pauley had been limited to designated hitter through his first nine spring games, but he's finally been given the green light to debut in the field. The 25-year-old will be part of the Marlins' Opening Day roster, but it's unclear if he'll be deployed as the primary third baseman to begin the season. Connor Norby has outproduced Pauley this spring, but he may be needed in left field to cover for Kyle Stowers (hamstring).

Slated to play third base Sunday
Pauley (forearm) is expected to play third base in Miami's spring-training finale Sunday against the Mets, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis
Pauley has been seeing some action at DH during spring training while recovering from soreness in his right forearm, but the 25-year-old is on the brink of making his first Grapefruit League appearance in the field, which is encouraging for his Opening Day availability.
