Marlins Lineup

1. SS Jon Berti
2. 2B Isan Díaz
3. RF Brian Anderson
4. 1B Garrett Cooper
5. 3B Starlin Castro
6. CF Lewis Brinson
7. LF Harold Ramírez
8. C Bryan Holaday
9. P Jordan Yamamoto (3.94 ERA, 3.88 FIP, 25.3 K%, 42.0 Hard Hit% in 48.0 IP)

Notes: Miguel Rojas (right hamstring strain) is having an MRI today to assess the extent of his injury. Meanwhile, the Marlins placed him on the 10-day injured list, promoting Deven Marrero from Triple-A New Orleans...Neither of them have received steady playing time, but Holaday (.844) and Berti (.808) quietly lead all Marlins players this season in OPS. Both are making compelling cases to be retained for the 2020 season as high-character, complimentary pieces...In five consecutive games, Marlins starting pitchers have failed to last beyond five innings. Not surprisingly, the team has lost five in a row.
