Marlins Shake Up Lineup for Series Finale

0:00It's April 22nd. This is MLB News Today, powered by AI you're around the diamond update. I'm Corey with the story. The Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals have split the first two games of their three-gain series at Lone Depot Park. Now, the Marlins eye a win in Wednesday afternoons finale to snag the series and climb closer to 500 at 12 wins and 13 losses. After taking Monday night, they drop Tuesday, but manager Clayton McCullough is shaking things up with a fresh lineup for this day-game getaway. Expect Jacob Marcy in center, Isaiah Vier Edwards as designated hitter, and Jansen Junk on the mound to kick things off right. Fans might notice Kyle Stauer sitting this one out after going three for ten in his return from injury. He's available off the bench, but with travel Thursday and rest needs for catcher Liam Hicks shifting to first, injuries are forcing these tweaks. Augustine Ramirez catches. Otto Lopez at short and others feel spots to keep legs fresh before the road swing.

1:01McCullough hopes the changes spark enough offense behind Junk's arm. A strong outing here sets the Marlins up solid heading west to face the Giants, then the Dodgers time to build momentum on the trip.
