Otto Lopez, Heriberto Hernandez on the Bench for Game 1 of Doubleheader
Miami Marlins infielder Otto Lopez and outfielder Heriberto Hernandez will both start on the bench for Game 1 of their Saturday doubleheader against the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Javier Sanoja is starting at shortstop and is batting eighth, while Dane Myers will start in left field and bat out of the six-hole versus Braves right-hander Hurston Waldrep. Lopez has hits in each of his last three games but has gone only 5-for-29 (.172) with a double, RBI and a stolen base in the first eight games in the month of August. The rookie Hernandez hit his seventh homer of the year in Friday's game and has swung it very well in his first 44 MLB games in 2025, batting .311 (38-for-122) with seven long balls, 22 RBI and 21 runs scored. The 25-year-old should continue to see regular playing time for the Fish going forward.
