Head (hip) is listed on Miami's roster for its March 14 Spring Breakout game against St. Louis prospects.
Head's 2024 season was cut short after he underwent left hip femoral acetabular impingement surgery last June, but he looks like he'll be good to go heading into the 2025 campaign. After being acquired from the Padres last May as part of the prospect package the Marlins received in exchange for infielder Luis Arraez, Head appeared in just three games for Single-A Jupiter before being shut down with the injury.

Head will undergo season-ending left hip femoral acetabular impingement surgery Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Head's season ends after just 26 games, with only five of them coming in the Marlins organization after he was acquired from the Padres in the May 3 trade that sent infielder Luis Arraez to San Diego. The 19-year-old outfielder is expected to have a normal offseason and be fully ready for the start of spring training.

Single-A Jupiter placed Head (adductor) on its 7-day injured list May 20.
After being acquired from the Padres on May 3, Head was held out of game action for more than a week due to an adductor strain before making his Jupiter debut May 14. However, Head played just three games with the affiliate before suffering an apparent setback and landing on the shelf. The 19-year-old outfielder is without a clear timeline to return to action for Jupiter.
