Miami Visits Houston Astros in West Palm Beach While Also Hosting St. Louis Cardinals in Jupiter
The Miami Marlins are trying to figure out the rotation before Opening Day.
With the news that Braxton Garrett is behind schedule for the season opener, combined with Max Meyer (Tommy John surgery) and Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) working their way back from various injuries, the Marlis could use some additional starting rotation options to enter the 2024 season.
Enter...Ryan Weathers? The lefty reliever is making his third start of spring training today, and he's looked good so far - 8.2 innings pitched with two runs allowed, ten strikeouts, and only three walks. Expected to take a medium-leverage role in the bullpen this season, stretching him out in spring training could end up being a smart move by manager Skip Schumaker.
Here's how the Marlins will line up behind Weathers:
2B Vidál Bruján
DH Bryan De La Cruz
CF Jazz Chisholm Jr.
RF Jesús Sánchez
1B Trey Mancini
LF Nick Gordon
3B Jonah Bride
C Curt Casali
SS Jacob Amaya
Here's how the Astros will take the field for the home game in West Palm Beach:
2B Mauricio Dubón
CF Jake Meyers
LF Corey Julks
RF Trey Cabbage
C Victor Caratini
1B David Hensley
DH Jacob Melton
SS Grae Kessinger
3B Shay Whitcomb
Seth Martinez gets the ball for the Astros.
For the home game against the St. Louis Cardinals, with first pitch slated for 1:10 PM ET, here's how the Marlins will line up:
2B Luis Arráez
1B Josh Bell
3B Jake Burger
SS Tim Anderson
CF Dane Myers
C Christian Bethancourt
DH Troy Johnston
LF Jonathan Davis
RF Victor Mesa Jr
SP Edward Cabrera
St. Louis is rolling out an almost MLB-standard lineup, a rarity for a road matchup in the middle of spring training:
CF Victor Scott II
DH Paul Goldschmidt
2B Nolan Gorman
3B Nolan Arenado
1B Matt Carpenter
RF Jordan Walker
LF Alec Burleson
C Ivan Herrera
SS Masyn Winn
SP Gordon Graceffo
