Notes: Don Mattingly tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms. James Rowson will serve as acting manager for the rest of the series…I suspect that Nick Neidert is being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start this game…Lefty on the mound for the opposition, which means it is Miggy Ro’s time to shine. He ranks third among all qualified hitters since 2020 with a 191 wRC+ against left-handers…Brian Anderson has a six-game hitting streak since returning from the injured list. He’s got a .348/.444/.609 slash line during that span…The most well-rested relievers available in the Marlins bullpen are Richard Bleier, Ross Detwiler, Dylan Floro and Austin Pruitt.
