NEW YORK -- The Miami Marlins activated third baseman Connor Norby on Friday after he missed more than a month with a broken hamate bone in his left wrist.

Norby last played on July 11 in Baltimore and began feeling soreness that originally was listed as wrist inflammation. He underwent wrist surgery by hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan in Phoenix on July 16. He was back in the lineup, batting sixth, against the New York Mets on Friday after playing five rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville.

"Very excited to get Connor back," manager Clayton McCullough said. "He worked extremely hard along with our training staff to get back from this as quickly as he could."

Norby missed the first three weeks of the season with a strained oblique and batted .241 with six homers and 26 RBIs in 72
