Marlins Game Notes

Marlins Starting Lineup

2B Jazz Chisholm Jr. (135 wRC+ this season, career 105 wRC+)
3B Jon Berti (134, 102)
DH Jorge Soler (116, 112)
1B Jesús Aguilar (106, 112)
CF Jesús Sánchez (99, 103)
RF Avisaíl García (62, 102)
SS Miguel Rojas (80, 87)
C Nick Fortes
LF Bryan De La Cruz

LHP Daniel Castano

Pregame Roster Moves: Daniel Castano recalled and Jimmy Yacabonis selected from Triple-A Jacksonville; Edward Cabrera (right elbow tendinitis) and Cole Sulser (right lat strain) placed on 15-day injured list; Jesús Luzardo transferred to 60-day IL

Castano has a lower career ERA (3.50) than Pablo López (3.73)

That’s your very random stat of the day

Additional Notes: This was originally Pablo López’s spot in the rotation, but he’s still dealing with lingering effects of the right wrist contusion he suffered last Friday. Castano has made three previous appearances with the big league club in 2022. This will be his first start. With Triple-A Jacksonville, he owns a 4.82 ERA, 5.85 FIP and .266 BAA in 28.0 IP…The Marlins have eight home runs this season in what Baseball-Reference considers “late-and-close” situations; Chisholm has hit four of them.

Phillies Starting Lineup

LF Kyle Schwarber (122, 119)
1B Rhys Hoskins (125, 126)
DH Bryce Harper (168, 143)
RF Nick Castellanos (101, 114)
SS Didi Gregorius (127, 96)
3B Alec Bohm (78, 89)
CF Odúbel Herrera (123, 101)
2B Bryson Stott (56, 56)
C Garrett Stubbs (166, 73)

RHP Kyle Gibson

Gibson’s 2022 pitch distribution and Statcast percentile rankings

Notes: García (.472 OPS in 34 plate appearances) and Soler (.914 OPS in 22 PA) have the most head-to-head history with Gibson among active Marlins players…After his struggles on Tuesday, Corey Knebel has been bumped out of the closer’s role.

Rob Thomson said he’ll use Corey Knebel in different situations until he gets right. In the meantime, it’ll be closer by committee. So, Seranthony Dominguez, Brad Hand, etc.
