Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Anderson, Burdick, Fortes, Groshans and Leblanc in, Lewin Díaz, Avisaíl García, Jesús Sánchez, Jacob Stallings and Joey Wendle out; De La Cruz switches from CF to DH, Bleday switches from LF to CF

Additional Notes: Rojas is the only player from the Marlins Opening Day lineup who is starting tonight...Majors and minors combined, Cabrera is making his 23rd start of 2022, establishing a new single-season high for his professional career. Encouraging to see from a talented pitcher who’s been slowed by injuries in the past.

Brewers Starting Lineup

  1. LF Christian Yelich (109 wRC+ this season, 79 wRC+ over last 30 days)
  2. SS Willy Adames (112, 128)
  3. 1B Rowdy Tellez (113, 88)
  4. RF Hunter Renfroe (122, 98)
  5. 2B Kolten Wong (118, 121)
  6. DH Andrew McCutchen (97, 92)
  7. 3B Jace Peterson (101, 62)
  8. C Omar Narvaez (74, 6)
  9. CF Tyrone Taylor (101, 161)

LHP Aaron Ashby (88 ERA+ this season, career 89 ERA+)

Notes: These are meaningful games for the Brewers! As of early Saturday evening, they’re tied with the Phillies for the final NL Wild Card spot (though the Phillies own the tiebreaker)...Recently recovered from left shoulder inflammation, Ashby is not stretched out as a starter. Milwaukee’s bullpen will be responsible for covering most of the innings tonight.

How to Watch/Listen/Follow
