RHP Edward Cabrera (87 ERA+ this season)
Lineup Changes from Previous Game: De La Cruz, Gurriel, Hampson and Stallings in, Jon Berti, Garrett Cooper, Nick Fortes and Avisaíl García out; Sánchez switches from LF to RF
Additional Marlins Notes: The Marlins are the only MLB team that’s still undefeated in one-run games this season (8-0)...Ever since I questioned Sánchez’s future in Miami, he has started four straight games...Cabrera shoved five no-hit innings against the Cubs at Wrigley Field last season, but only two of the hitters who started that day (Happ and Wisdom) are in today’s lineup...Floro (pitched the last three days) will not be available in relief.
#Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Garrett Cooper felt something in his back yesterday. He feels fine today and is available off the bench
