Placido Polanco went 0-for-4 as the Marlins' No. 3 hitter in Wednesday's loss.
Polanco has appeared in 13 games as a No. 3 hitter this season and has one extra-base hit and one RBI in 46 at-bats. Overall, he's batting .248/.311/.281 with eight runs scored and six RBI in 121 at-bats. The Marlins may not have much choice to stick with him for now, but hopefully they'll come up with a better third base option in time.
May 8 - 6:14 PM
Placido Polanco had an RBI double in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.
Polanco has hit third and fourth for the Marlins this season, but he was back in the No. 2 spot on Saturday. That's where he belongs. The 37-year-old is hitting .292 (19-for-65) with four doubles and six RBI through 17 games this season. He's unlikely to hold up over the long-term and doesn't provide much pop from third base, but he's relevant in NL-only and deeper mixed fantasy leagues for now.
Apr 20 - 6:22 PM
Placido Polanco went 2-for-4 and plated the Marlins' lone run in Friday night's loss to the Phillies.
While it's nearly indefensible that Polanco is serving as the cleanup hitter on a Major League team, he's actually been one of the Marlins' best hitters to this point, hitting .351/.351/.406. He won't contribute much in terms of power or speed, but as long as he's hitting in the middle of the lineup, he certainly has use in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
Apr 12 - 11:29 PM
Placido Polanco went 3-for-5 with a two-run single and a run scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mets.
That's right, it was an offensive barrage for the Marlins, who now have their first win of the 2013 season. Mike Redmond used Polanco out of the cleanup spot for the first two games of the season, but he has been the No. 2 hitter in the last two games. That's where he belongs, though the Marlins don't have any good options right now. Greg Dobbs was the cleanup hitter on Friday night, though to be fair, he did hit a solo homer.

Logan Morrison
D.L.
Logan Morrison (knee) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter on Monday.
Morrison has been playing in extended spring training games lately and hasn't had any setbacks with his surgically-repaired knee. With his 20-day rehab clock started on Monday, he'll be activated no later than early June as long as he doesn't have a setback.

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

Joe Mahoney
D.L.
Joe Mahoney (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter this week.
Mahoney has been out since late April with a right hamstring strain. With Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) also due back soon, Mahoney might be sent to Triple-A once healthy.

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.

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.

Alfredo Silverio

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.

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.
