Marlins' Pauley Avoids UCL Damage, Eyeing Return This Week

Miami Marlins infielder Graham Pauley's MRI on his right arm revealed no UCL damage, avoiding a worst-case scenario. While the specific diagnosis remains unclear, Pauley is currently able to field grounders but is not yet cleared for throwing or hitting. He told MLB.com that he could return to game action as soon as later this week, or within two weeks at the latest. Pauley has a shot to be ready for Opening Day, though his availability could be close.
