What will the Miami Marlins do with J.T. Riddle now that he has been promoted back to the Major League team after time with Triple-A New Orleans? As he came up through the team’s minor league system, the Kentucky native was an infielder.
Riddle, who replaces Neil Walker on the 25-man roster as the team announced the veteran has been placed on the 10-day IL, now has center fielder written all over him.
At least that is how the coaching staff sees it.
“I envision him in center,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.
