McGehee went 2-for-5 with one run scored and two RBI in his return to Miami against the Reds Saturday.

Designated for assignment by the Giants for a second time last week, McGehee lands back with the team where he resurrected his career in 2014. McGehee will get at least a brief look as the Marlins' everyday third baseman with Martin Prado (shoulder) on the shelf, and a fresh start should do him some good after struggling with a .213/.275/.299 slash line over 127 at-bats in San Francisco.

McGehee will start at third base and bat fifth against the Reds on Saturday.

The 32-year-old signed back on with Miami earlier in the week after being designated for assignment by the Giants for a second time late last month. He doubled in a pinch-hit appearance Friday, and will slot in against right-hander Raisel Iglesias on Saturday for his first start of the year with the Marlins. It's uncertain what role McGehee will take on upon the return of Martin Prado (shoulder), who is currently on a minor league rehab assignment.

McGehee officially signed with the Marlins on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports.

McGehee posted a solid 2014 season with the Marlins, and he'll now rejoin the club. With Martin Prado still on the 15-day disabled list, the veteran third baseman could be a candidate play consistently right away. However, the lineup is pretty beat up at the moment, and he hasn't hit well this season, so expectation should be tempered for a while.

Free agent third baseman Casey McGehee has signed with the Miami Marlins, according to MLB Daily Dish.

Free agent third baseman Casey McGehee has signed with the Miami Marlins, according to MLB Daily Dish. McGehee rejoins the team he played for in 2014 after being designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants on June 30, and will likely assume a starting role while third baseman Martin Prado is on the disabled list.

McGehee is expected to sign with the Marlins once he clears release waivers Friday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

McGehee had one of the better seasons of his career with Miami in 2014, so it looks like he'll try to find his old winning formula. His tenure in San Francisco was a disaster, losing the starting job to Matt Duffy and slashing .213/.275/.299 while grounding into double plays in more than 10.9 percent of plate appearances. He'll compete with Derek Dietrich for time at third base with the Marlins.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey McGehee is expected to sign with the Miami Marlins once he clears waivers Friday, according to MLB.com.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey McGehee is expected to sign with the Miami Marlins once he clears waivers Friday, according to MLB.com. McGehee hit just .213 this season before losing his starting spot and will have to compete with Derek Dietrich for playing time at third base in Miami.

McGehee was designated for assignment Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of the Bay Area News Group reports.

With Matt Duffy thriving at third base and Brandon Belt entrenched at first base, McGehee has only received 17 at-bats since the Giants recalled him June 6. The team will instead use a roster spot on Ehire Adrianza, a more defensive-minded backup infielder.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey McGehee was designated for assignment on Tuesday, according to the Bay Area News Group.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey McGehee was designated for assignment on Tuesday, according to the Bay Area News Group. McGehee is batting .213 this season and had received just 17 at-bats since June 6, as he has been unable to supplant third baseman Matt Duffy or first baseman Brandon Belt for playing time.

McGehee was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports.

McGehee did a good job at Triple-A, slashing .357/.391/.571 with two home runs in just 10 games, so the Giants rewarded him by bringing him back up. The Giants have currently been using Matt Duffy and Joaquin Arias at third base, and considering both players remain on the roster following McGehee's call-up, there could be a lot of mixing and matching going forward for the Giants at the hot corner.

McGehee accepted his assignment and was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

The Giants lost patience with the struggling McGehee, who could still contribute to the team's cause at some point before the end of the season. For now, Matt Duffy is getting the vast majority of the playing time at third base.

McGehee was designated for assignment Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of the Bay Area News Group reports.

McGehee had been losing playing time to Matt Duffy of late, but few expected this move from the Giants. He had shown slight signs of improvement at the plate from April to May, but a .200/.254/.282 slash line simply wasn't going to cut it. McGehee can now elect to accept his designation, or become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

McGehee is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

McGehee will have now been held out of the starting lineup for three of the last six games, suggesting his hold on the third base position may be slipping towards Matt Duffy. The veteran should be available to pinch-hit, if needed, in the afternoon contest.

McGehee is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

McGehee will sit for a second straight game and for the fourth time in the team's last six games as Matt Duffy once again mans the hot corner. Perhaps he will get a chance against right-hander David Hale in Game 2, but McGehee is sporting a .189/.246/.274 batting line through 114 plate appearances and seems to have fallen behind Duffy in the eyes of manager Bruce Bochy.

McGehee is not in the lineup Friday against the Rockies.

Matt Duffy is penciled in to man third base and bat eighth as McGehee sits for the third time in five games. Following an 0-for-3 performance Thursday, McGehee is now batting .190/.248/.276 with three extra-base hits (two home runs) in 113 plate appearances.

McGehee is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times reports.

McGehee will get the night off, as manager Bruce Bochy goes with Matt Duffy at third base against left-hander Brett Anderson. McGehee has appeared in 31 games on the season but his hitting just .196 with only five extra-base hits.

McGehee is not in the lineup Sunday against the Reds.

McGehee has made four straight starts for manager Bruce Bochy, but will rest in favor of Matt Duffy on Sunday afternoon. Despite a four-game hit streak, McGehee remains below the Mendoza Line on the year (.194).

McGehee will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, CSN's Andrew Baggarly reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged that he is riding the hot bat of Matt Duffy at the hot corner for the moment, but he is planning to get McGehee back in the lineup Wednesday. The two figure to continue sharing the third-base duties moving forward.

McGehee is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Astros.

McGehee provided some hope for a turnaround Friday when he smacked a grand slam in a 2-for-4 effort, but he followed that up by going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts in the final two games against Miami. Even with the DH option available to him in Houston, manager Bruce Bochy has decided not to start McGehee on Tuesday. Matt Duffy will get the nod at third base.

McGehee hit a grand slam to open up the game in the 6-0 win over the Marlins Friday.

McGehee went 2-for-4 in the game and it's nice to see him step up big as he has done very little all season long. With this four RBI-performance, he more than doubled his previous total of three and doubled his home run total of one. McGehee will need more games like this if he is to keep his job all season long.

McGehee is not in the lineup for a third straight game Thursday against the Marlins.

McGehee appears to finally be losing playing time after an abysmal start offensively, going 13-for-73 over 22 games this season. Matt Duffy is currently the beneficiary of the switch, as he'll start at third again Thursday and will bat eighth for the Giants.
