7 years agoMiami Marlins shortstop J.T. Riddle is beginning his rehab assignment in High-A Jupiter on Tuesday. Riddle has been on the DL all season and essentially all offseason from August shoulder surgery. He'll take all the reps he can during his assignment. Riddle appeared in 70 games as a rookie last season, hitting .250 with three home runs and 31 RBI. He did however struggle with 50 strikeouts. The Marlins will certainly give Riddle a chance at shortstop when he returns to see if he sticks, but there's no reason for you to be claiming him off waivers anytime soon.--Dan Fappiano
