Troy Johnston News: Expected to be added to roster

The Marlins are expected to call up Johnston from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Johnston would take the 26-man and 40-man roster spots vacated by Nick Fortes, who has been traded to the Rays. The 28-year-old Johnston has slashed .252/.333/.439 with 12 homers and 31 steals at Jacksonville this season and is capable of playing first base in addition to both corner-outfield spots. Johnston will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.
