Twins Starting Lineup

1. DH Byron Buxton (179 wRC+ this season)
2. SS Carlos Correa (53)
3. 1B Donovan Solano (-18)
4. 3B José Miranda (60)
5. 2B Kyle Farmer (2)
6. C Ryan Jeffers (317)
7. LF Willi Castro (-100)
8. RF Trevor Larnach (233)
9. CF Michael A. Taylor (24)

RHP Pablo López (career 107 ERA+)

Notes: This is López’s 52nd time pitching at LoanDepot Park (50 home starts as a Marlin and one for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic). New for 2023, he has added a sweeper to his pitch mix against right-handed batters. Thrown harder than his curveball, it gets more horizontal break and far less vertical break.

Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Fortes, Hampson and Sánchez in, Luis Arraez, Bryan De La Cruz and Jacob Stallings out

Additional Notes: Making his Marlins debut today, Hampson (.844 OPS in 10 PA) has the most head-to-head history with López among Miami’s active players...Chisholm and Soler are the only two players to start every game of the first Marlins homestand...Thanks to Sandy’s complete-game effort on Tuesday, every member of the Marlins bullpen should be available to pitch in relief of Luzardo.
