Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Aguilar, Encarnación and Rojas in, JJ Bleday, Lewin Díaz and Joey Wendle out

Pregame Roster Moves: OF Jerar Encarnación and RHP Tommy Nance recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville; RHP Elieser Hernandez optioned to Triple-A; 1B/DH Garrett Cooper placed on 7-day concussion IL

Additional Notes: The Marlins have MLB’s lowest batting average (.209 BA) and weighted runs created plus (71 wRC+) against left-handed pitchers like Tyler Anderson. Perhaps Encarnación can help with that! Don Mattingly is riding with an all-righty lineup...Miami’s taxi squad for this west coast road trip includes right-hander Aneurys Zabala.

Dodgers Starting Lineup

  1. RF Mookie Betts (145 wRC+ this season, 153 wRC+ over last 30 days)
  2. SS Trea Turner (134, 123)
  3. 1B Freddie Freeman (157, 151)
  4. C Will Smith (134, 119)
  5. DH Justin Turner (104, 72)
  6. LF Chris Taylor (104, 96)
  7. 3B Hanser Alberto (73, 96)
  8. CF Trayce Thompson (134, 186)
  9. 2B Gavin Lux (131, 151)

LHP Tyler Anderson (147 ERA+ this season, career 105 ERA+)

Notes: The standards for this Dodgers team are so absurdly high that losing three of their last five games constitutes a “slump.” However, they have won six straight at home...Anderson has proven to be one of the most efficient signings of the 2021-22 MLB free agent class. Coming to the Dodgers on a one-year, $8 million deal, he leads their pitching staff with 128 1⁄3 innings and earned the first All-Star selection of his career. He has allowed only four home runs over his last 15 starts.
