Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Chisholm replaces Jon Berti; Wendle replaces Miguel Rojas; Henry replaces Jacob Stallings; Cooper and Aguilar switch positions

Additional Notes: I’m particularly fascinated to see Rogers today considering his career splits against “full” MLB lineups compared to the now-defunct traditional National League lineups. In 24 career starts where he had the luxury of facing opposing pitchers, he posted a 2.62 earned run average; in eight starts with the designated hitter involved, his ERA is 5.56…Soler is the only veteran Marlins position player who’s still without a hit this season…The most well-rested Marlins relievers (haven’t pitched in this series) are Shawn Armstrong, Daniel Castano and Cody Poteet.

Giants Starting Lineup

  1. RF Austin Slater (103 wRC+ last season, 102 career wRC+)
  2. 1B Darin Ruf (144, 118)
  3. SS Brandon Crawford (139, 97)
  4. DH Wilmer Flores (113, 104)
  5. 2B Thairo Estrada (119, 98)
  6. LF Heliot Ramos (N/A, N/A)
  7. CF Mauricio Dubon (75, 88)
  8. 3B Luke Williams (74, 74)
  9. C Curt Casali (82, 92)

RHP Anthony DeSclafani

Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Casali replaces Joey Bart; Slater, Ramos, Dubon and Williams replace Mike Yastrzemski, Brandon Belt, Joc Pederson and Steven Duggar; Ruf moves from DH to 1B; Flores moves from 3B to DH

Notes: Making his major league debut today, 22-year-old Ramos used to be a consensus Top 100 MLB prospect. The Puerto Rican outfielder possesses a well-rounded skill set, but lacks a truly elite tool. Last season while splitting time between Double-A and Triple-A, he put up a 94 wRC+ with 14 HR, 42 BB and 138 SO in 495 PA (116 G)…Among active Marlins, Stallings (12 plate appearances), Aguilar (11 PA) and Soler (11 PA) have the most head-to-head history with DeSclafani…Veteran bats Evan Longoria, LaMonte Wade Jr. and Tommy La Stella are on the injured list and won’t be eligible to return during this series.
