Baseball Savant

Notes: Since being traded to San Diego by the Nationals, Soto has raked up to expectations (.350/.480/.550, 193 wRC+) while Bell has been slow to adjust (.154/.313/.179, 59 wRC+)...Machado just received NL Player of the Week honors for his success against the Giants and Nats. In each of his last five games, he has recorded multiple hits and at least one run batted in...For much of the first half of the season, Musgrove was on the short list of most dominant MLB starting pitchers, but he hasn’t earned a win since June 16.

Baseball Savant

Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Berti, Fortes and Rojas in, Brian Anderson and Nick Fortes out; Bleday switches from CF to RF, Burdick switches from LF to CF

Additional Notes: This is Garrett Cooper’s third straight game being out of the starting lineup...Remember, relievers Andrew Nardi and Parker Bugg were just called up. Nardi could quickly receive opportunities in high-leverage situations, while Bugg is more likely to pitch if the Marlins are winning/losing by a large margin.
