Joe Mahoney (oblique) will be activated from the disabled list prior to Wednesday's game. Kyle Skipworth has already been sent down in a corresponding move. Mahoney missed the beginning of the season with an oblique injury but batted .438 with a homer during a four-game rehab assignment. He should see some playing time at first base with Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) both sidelined.

Joe Mahoney (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday night with High-A Jupiter. Mahoney was cleared for a rehab stint after he played in an extended spring training game on Wednesday. It shouldn't take him long to get ready, so he figures to get a decent amount of playing time at first base with Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) both sidelined.

Joe Mahoney (oblique) played in an extended spring training game Wednesday and will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter in the next few days. He's not expected to need many rehab at-bats, so it sounds like Mahoney could be activated sometime next week. With both Logan Morrison and Casey Kotchman on the disabled list, Mahoney should received plenty of playing time at first base once he returns.

Marlins placed 1B Joe Mahoney on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique. He'll miss at least the first few weeks of the season but, once, healthy, could threaten Casey Kotchman for playing time at first base before Logan Morrison returns. Mahoney batted .233/.258/.567 with three homers this spring for the Marlins.

Joe Mahoney homered twice and drove in four runs as the Marlins and Mets played to an 8-8 tie Saturday. Casey Kotchman looks like the favorite to open the season as the Marlins' first baseman with Logan Morrison likely DL bound, but it's worth noting that he's not on the 40-man roster and Mahoney is. The Marlins might decide it's worth going with Mahoney if they think Morrison will be back after a couple of weeks.
