Marlins' Dillon Head: Dealing with adductor strain
Rotowire
Head is rehabbing an adductor strain and has yet to report to an affiliate since the Marlins acquired him from the Padres on May 3, Alex Krutchik of FishonFirst.com reports.
Before being dealt to Miami as part of the return package for infielder Luis Arraez, Head slashed .237/.317/.366 with two triples, one home run and nine RBI over 104 plate appearances with Single-A Lake Elsinore. The 19-year-old outfielder is working out at the Marlins' spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla. and is considered day-to-day as he works through the adductor strain, though it's unclear when he might be ready to debut for his new organization.
The Padres traded Head to the Marlins on Friday alongside Woo-suk Go, Jakob Marsee and Nathan Martorella in exchange for Luis Arraez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Head has slashed .237/.317/.366 with nine RBI across 104 plate appearances this year at Single-A. The 19-year-old outfielder still has a long way to go before he's ready for his big-league debut, but with the Marlins seemingly entering a rebuild, the front office may take a more aggressive approach with Head and push him through their farm system as fast as possible.
