JUPITER (CBSMiami/AP) — There are going to be some changes around the Miami Marlins clubhouse this season.

For the first time in his major league career, Don Mattingly’s team has a policy of no facial hair.

And as the Marlins’ new manager, he’s the one enforcing the rule.

The Marlins allowed players to have beards the past two years, but that changed under an organizational policy adopted after Mattingly was hired.

“Initially not too many guys were happy about it,” said reliever Mike Dunn, who shaved off his goatee before reporting to spring training.
