Pauley to begin rehab assignment with Jumbo Shrimp

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Miami Marlins infielder Graham Pauley will begin an injury rehabilitation assignment Wednesday for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp as they play the Memphis Redbirds at 7:05 p.m. from VyStar Ballpark.

Pauley was placed on the 10-day injured list on August 19 with a right oblique strain. Thus far in the 2025 season, he has played 54 games with the Marlins, slashing .229/.310/371/.681 with eight doubles, four home runs and 11 RBIs.

Pauley spent a portion of each of the last two seasons with Triple-A Jacksonville. He played in five games with the Jumbo Shrimp in 2024, and this year, in 34 games, batted .260/.340/.496/.836 with nine doubles, seven homers, 18 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

A native of Milton, Ga., Pauley was originally selected by the San Diego Padres in the 13th round of the 2022 draft out of Duke University. He was a member of the Padres’ Opening Day roster in 2024 and made his major league debut on March 20, 2024 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. On July 30 of that season, Pauley was part of the package along with right-hander Adam Mazur, left-hander Robby Snelling and infielder Jay Beshears that was traded to the Marlins in exchange for left-hander Tanner Scott and right-hander Bryan Hoeing.
