ImpactPolanco will play second base and bat second for the Mighty Mussels. It's not clear how many rehab games the veteran infielder will require before being activated, as it could depend on how his left knee is feeling. Polanco is eligible for activation at any time.

Dylan Floro - Nabs win WednesdayFloro (1-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's victory over the Twins, striking out one in a perfect eighth inning.
ImpactThe score was tied 1-1 when Floro entered the game, but the Marlins piled on four runs in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander has a win and a hold in his first two appearances this season, and while he's a key part of the team's high-leverage mix, A.J. Puk appears to be the favorite for saves for now.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Thinks he could've played ThursdayChisholm (shoulder) texted Marlins manager Skip Schumaker after Wednesday's game to say he was ready to play Thursday against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ImpactMiami's trainers might have had a different opinion, but the point became moot when Thursday's game was postponed due to inclement weather. While Chisholm's injury looked serious when it happened, he's been diagnosed with just a stinger, and Thursday's delay might mean the injury doesn't cost him any further playing time. The 25-year-old played only 60 games last year due to multiple injuries, and keeping Chisholm healthy is one of the keys to the Marlins' 2023 season.
