Trevor Rogers and Humberto Castellanos will start Tuesday’s Marlins vs. Diamondbacks game at LoanDepot Park. Full lineups and game notes in here.
Welcome to Tuesday’s Marlins (12-10, +7 RD) vs. Diamondbacks (11-13, -18 RD) game thread. Last chance to vote for our April 2022 Marlin of the Month!
The Marlins are, understandably, being overshadowed by the Miami Heat and Florida Panthers playoff series and the upcoming Miami Grand Prix.
It’s officially @F1 week in the MIA.
Don’t miss @ScuderiaFerrari‘s very own @Charles_Leclerc as he joins us tomorrow at the @Marlins game. #MakeItMiami pic.twitter.com/Rl5BR2ZC36

The man on top of the F1 driver standings, Charles Leclerc, is scheduled to be at LoanDepot Park later today before the Marlins game. The plan is for him to do a jersey exchange and even play some catch with Jazz Chisholm Jr. #MiamiGP

Baseball Savant
Notes: With an average four-seam fastball velocity of just 88.8 mph, Castellanos is one of the softest throwers in the majors, per Baseball Savant…The D-backs are sorta running on fumes at this point, having played 15 games over the last 14 days (with zero off days). Their .181 team batting average is 16 points lower than any other MLB team.

Baseball Savant
Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Berti in, Miguel Rojas out; Cooper/García swap the 5/6 spots; Cooper/Aguilar swap 1B/DH
Additional Notes: Joey Wendle is still dealing with soreness that kept him out on Monday…Richard Bleier has allowed at least one hit in six straight appearances, matching the longest such streak of his Marlins tenure. He should not be given high-leverage assignments for the time being…If García can’t straighten himself out over the next two games against a pitch-to-contact righty and a lefty (Madison Bumgarner), it may be time to worry.
