4. LF Abraham Almonte
5. 3B Austin Riley
6. SS Ehire Adrianza

9. LHP Drew Smyly (2021 season stats: 5.82 ERA, 6.47 FIP, 19.2 K%, 47.2 HardHit% in 51.0 IP)

Baseball Savant

Notes: Atlanta’s signing of Smyly raised some eyebrows, as they guaranteed him $11 million based off only a handful of appearances during the 2020 season. It’s been a disaster. The veteran southpaw’s strikeout rate has been cut in half and he has allowed the third-most home runs of any pitcher in baseball. Today is his 32nd birthday, by the way...Dansby Swanson is riding the bench, unsurprising considering the matchup numbers below.

Baseball Savant

Notes: Miguel Rojas (dislocated/fractured finger) has been assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Barring any setbacks, his return from the injured list is only a few days away...Adam Duvall has a streak of five straight games recording at least one run batted in...The well-rested pitchers available out of the Marlins bullpen (haven’t pitched in at least two days) are Adam Cimber, John Curtiss, Ross Detwiler, Yimi Garcia, Preston Guilmet and Zach Pop.
