Baseball Savant

Notes: Lindor has 11 runs batted in against the Marlins this season. To put that context, the Marlins as a team have produced 15 total runs in those five games...Solid and unpredictable, Bassitt is the only MLB pitcher this season who has 10-plus strikeouts with five different pitch types (four-seam fastball, slider, sinker, cutter and curveball)...McCann is making his return from a fractured left hamate (hand)...Jeff McNeil’s hamstring tightened up on him on Monday and he hasn’t played since.

Marlins Game Notes

Marlins Starting Lineup

1. 2B Jazz Chisholm Jr. (139 wRC+ this season, career 104 wRC+)
2. 1B Garrett Cooper (140, 123)
3. LF Jorge Soler (112, 111)
4. DH Jesús Aguilar (110, 112)
5. CF Jesús Sánchez (94, 99)
6. SS Miguel Rojas (85, 87)
7. 3B Willians Astudillo (100, 87)
8. C Jacob Stallings (57, 84)
9. RF Bryan De La Cruz (75, 100)

LHP Trevor Rogers

Baseball Savant

Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Astudillo, De La Cruz and Rojas in, Avisaíl García, Jon Berti and Luke Williams out; Cooper and Aguilar swap 1B/DH

Additional Notes: It seems that Chisholm (back spasms) and Rojas (right foot bone contusion) have dodged significant injuries...Rogers faced this same Mets team in his last start. He set a new career high with 24 swings-and-misses, even though his overall results were merely okay...My unheralded star of Friday’s game was Dylan Floro, who flaunted his highest fastball velocity of the season.
