Will see action at DH Aguilar will split his playing time between first base and DH this season, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports. Impact The veteran slugger was stuck at first base for most of 2021 without the DH available in the National League, and the end result was knee inflammation that shut him down in early September and eventually landed Aguilar on the 60-day IL. He's healthy to begin spring training, but rotating him between the two spots should save wear and tear on his knees as well as getting Garrett Cooper's bat into the lineup more often. Even with the early shutdown last year, Aguilar still launched 22 homers with 93 RBI in 131 games, and he'll be a key bat in the heart of the Marlins' order.
