Marlins at Dodgers, 7:10PM PT, TV: SPNLA
With the calamitous loss of Jose Fernandez, possibly for as long as a year, the Marlins have had to scramble to find a pitcher to take his spot in the rotation. It will be filled by Anthony DeSclafani, who will be making his MLB debut. The right-hander is 24 years old and is touted as the sixth-best prospect in the Marlins’ organization. Here’s what he’s done at AA this season:
| TEAM | LG | LEVEL | W | L | ERA | G | GS | CG | SHO | SV | SVO | IP | H | R | ER | HR | HB | BB | IBB | SO | AVG | WHIP | GO/AO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JAX | SOU | AA | 3 | 4 | 4.19 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 43.0 | 45 | 20 | 20 | 4 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 38 | .278 | 1.28 | 0.86 |
The Dodgers will send out Paul Maholm, who is 1-3 with a 4.71 ERA.
