Notes: Lindor has hit especially well against Marlins pitching in 2022, slashing .328/.388/.689 with 10 extra-base hits and 17 runs batted in (15 games)...Old friend Starling Marte has been out since Tuesday with a fractured finger. I’d call his availability for this series questionable at best...Nimmo (.864 OPS in 22 PA) and Alonso (.600 OPS in 18 PA) have the most head-to-head history with Pablo López among active Mets players.

Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Bleday, Díaz, Stallings and Wendle in, Bryan De La Cruz, Jerar Encarnación, Nick Fortes and Charles Leblanc out; Berti switches form 2B to LF, Anderson switches from RF to 3B, Cooper switches from 1B to DH, García switches from DH to RF

Additional Notes: Berti is starting in the outfield for the first time since July 12...It’s been an amazing week for Cooper, going 8-for-15 with no strikeouts in 17 plate appearances...Every pitcher in the Marlins bullpen should be available with the possible exception of Dylan Floro, who pitched each of the last two days.
