Being 4-6 weeks away from resuming baseball activities, he is all but certain to open the 2026 season with a stint on the injured list.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMLB.com&#8217;s Christina De Nicola explains that Arquette <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CDeNicola13\/status\/2027820024451276901\" rel=\"external nofollow\">initially suffered a left groin injury<\/a> during offseason workouts in his native Hawaii. The decision to undergo surgery was made when he continued to experience discomfort in spring training.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tUnrelated to this latest injury, Arquette&#8217;s collegiate career was interrupted by knee surgery and a broken hand. However, he was fully healthy during his draft year. The Marlins selected him with the seventh overall pick and paid him the largest signing bonus in franchise history.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tArquette made his professional debut last summer. In 27 games with High-A Beloit, he slashed .242\/.350\/.323 (103 wRC+) with one home run and seven stolen bases. He took all of his defensive reps at shortstop and played well there.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tArquette enters this season as a consensus Top 100 MLB prospect (Baseball America, MLB Pipeline and The Athletic each consider him a top-50 talent). He ranks seventh on the Fish On First Top 30.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEven with immaculate health, it was unlikely that Arquette would reach the big leagues in 2026. This further diminishes those odds.\u00a0Barring setbacks during the rehab process, the 22-year-old should be returning to minor league games by the end of April.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tStarlyn Caba (FOF #8) could be a beneficiary of Arquette&#8217;s injury, potentially serving as Beloit&#8217;s full-time shortstop early in the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more about the Miami Marlins&#8217; top prospects?
