Christian Yelich went 2-for-3 and hit his fifth homer Monday versus the Twins.

And this one was crushed off Twins reliever Tim Wood. The pitchforks are definitely coming out when the Marlins opt to send Yelich down later this month. He's been outstanding in hitting .385 with nine extra-base hits in 42 at-bats. Mar 18 - 4:30 PM

Christian Yelich - OF - Marlins

Christian Yelich homered in his lone plate appearance Saturday as the Marlins defeated the Mets 4-2.

That's four homers in 38 at-bats for Yelich. He also has three doubles, a triple and six walks. He's both scored and driven in 11 runs. It still makes a lot of sense for the Marlins to send him down to begin the season, but he's doing everything he can to turn it into a tough call.

Mar 16 - 4:21 PM

Christian Yelich - OF - Marlins

Christian Yelich hit a walkoff homer off Chris Carpenter in the bottom of the ninth as the Marlins beat the Red Sox 8-7 on Monday.

Yelich continues to excel, supplying his third homer of the spring. He's hitting .375 with 11 RBI and a 5/6 K/BB ratio in 32 at-bats. The Marlins remain highly unlikely to open the season with Yelich on the 25-man roster, but if he keeps this up in Triple-A, he might be their center fielder before long.

Mar 11 - 4:26 PM

Christian Yelich - OF - Marlins

Christian Yelich went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two walks against the Nationals on Saturday.

The Marlins would be crazy to carry Yelich on Opening Day and risk him burning a year of free agency in a season in which they won't contend, but the 21-year-old is doing his best to make it a tough decision. He's hitting .400/.516/.720 with a homer, seven RBI and six walks in 25 at-bats.

Mar 9 - 4:53 PM

Christian Yelich - OF - Marlins

Christian Yelich homered, singled and walked twice as the Marlins' leadoff hitter against the Mets on Saturday.

Yelich might already be the Marlins' second best outfielder, though he's still slated to open the season at Double-A. The 2010 first-round pick hit .330/.404/.519 at high-A Jupiter last year.

Mar 2 - 4:53 PM

Christian Yelich - OF - Marlins

Marlins agreed to terms with first-round pick OF Christian Yelich.

Yelich would have attended the University of Miami, but the Marlins lured him away with a signing bonus of $1.70 million. The 18-year-old was selected No. 23 overall in June's draft. He played first base in high school, but is expected to transition to the outfield when he turns pro.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Rob Brantly
	2	Jeff Mathis
	3	Miguel Olivo
1B	1	Logan Morrison D.L. Logan Morrison (knee) will shift his rehab assignment to Double-A Jacksonville on Monday. Morrison has spent the past week with the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads, collecting three hits and one RBI in 13 at-bats. He's working his way back from September surgery to repair a torn patella tendon in his right knee and is currently aiming to join the Marlins in early June. NL-only leaguers might want to stash him now. May 23
	2	Casey Kotchman D.L. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Casey Kotchman (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment "in the next few days." Kotchman is finally feeling improvement with his strained left hamstring. He was moved to the 60-day DL last week, though, so he won't be eligible to return until June. May 14
	3	Joe Mahoney D.L. Joe Mahoney (hamstring) is expected to begin playing in rehab games Sunday at Triple-A New Orleans. Mahoney was placed on the disabled list April 28 with a right hamstring strain. He'll beat Logan Morrison (knee) back to the Marlins' active roster but will probably be sent back to Triple-A when LoMo is deemed fully healthy. Mahoney, 26, carries no fantasy value. May 23
2B	1	Donovan Solano D.L. Donovan Solano's strained left intercostal muscle remains sore. There's no timetable for when he'll resume baseball activities, let alone when he'll return from the DL. Derek Dietrich will continue to serve as the primary second baseman for the Marlins. May 14
	2	Chris Valaika D.L. Chris Valaika underwent successful surgery on Friday, having two pins inserted into his wrist. Valaika is expected to require 4-6 weeks of healing time before he's able to return to the Marlins. He had been virtually ineffective in his 22 games before the injury, hitting .219/.261/.344 with one homer and nine RBI. May 10
	3	Derek Dietrich
	4	Nick Green
SS	1	Adeiny Hechavarria
3B	1	Placido Polanco
	2	Greg Dobbs
LF	1	Juan Pierre
	2	Austin Kearns D.L. Marlins transferred OF Austin Kearns to the restricted list. Kearns was already on the bereavement list, so it's just a procedural move to give him more time. Kyle Skipworth has taken Kearns' spot on the roster. May 12
	3	Matt Diaz D.L. Marlins placed OF Matt Diaz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19, with a left knee contusion. Diaz should be ready to return to the active roster as soon as he's eligible. The 35-year-old is batting just .167/.211/.222 in 10 games this season with the Marlins. May 20
	4	Jordan Brown
CF	1	Chris Coghlan
	2	Justin Ruggiano
RF	1	Giancarlo Stanton D.L. Giancarlo Stanton took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his right hamstring. "He looked good," manager Mike Redmond said afterward. "I’m just going off the results. He was hitting them out. It’s another encouraging sign that he’s a little closer to being back on the field." Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 and is still without a timetable. The best guess is that he's activated around mid-June. May 23
	2	Marcell Ozuna
	3	Alfredo Silverio D.L. Marlins placed OF Alfredo Silverio on the 60-day disabled list with a sprained right elbow. It's not clear how long the Rule 5 pick will be out. Silverio missed the entire 2012 season after injuring his neck and back in an auto accident. Mar 31
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Ricky Nolasco
	2	Nathan Eovaldi D.L. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Thursday that Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) has been progressing with his long-toss program. It's not clear when Eovaldi will be ready to throw from a mound, but he's moving in the right direction. The right-hander looks to be a little behind Henderson Alvarez, who should be ready to rejoin the Marlins' rotation in mid-May. Apr 26
	3	Kevin Slowey Sidelined Kevin Slowey left Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with a left lat strain. The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, so it's evidently a minor strain. He will be reevaluated on Thursday before it's determined whether he can make his next start. Slowey was pitching well Wednesday before getting hurt, tossing five innings of one-run ball on six hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts. May 22
	4	Jose Fernandez
	5	Alex Sanabia
	6	Henderson Alvarez D.L. Marlins transferred RHP Henderson Alvarez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Nick Green on the active roster. Alvarez recently had a setback with his shoulder and isn't close to returning. May 7
	7	Tom Koehler
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Steve Cishek
	2	Mike Dunn
	3	Ryan Webb
	4	Chad Qualls
	5	A.J. Ramos
	6	Duane Below
	7	Wade LeBlanc
	8	Jose Ceda D.L. Marlins placed RHP Jose Ceda on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. The hard-throwing right-hander is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He should be ready for game action when his 60 days are up. Mar 31
