Notes for the game
RHP Sixto SánchezA July shoulder operation resulted in some discomfort. He had to have his throwing program halted. However, an MRI scan was performed to verify his progress. Ng stated that “everything from the surgery has been preserved.” … Ng said that the NL should add the designated hitter when it felt right. Marlins offense was poor so Ng suggested that there should be another bat in the lineup every single day. The plan is to use this spot to occasionally give position players days off the field.
