Lineup Changes from Previous Game: De La Cruz, Sánchez and Wendle in, Jon Berti, Avisaíl García and Yuli Gurriel out; Cooper switches from DH to 1B, Soler switches from RF to DH

Additional Notes: Sánchez becomes the final hitter on the Marlins Opening Day active roster to make a start...Other than JT Chargois (pitched on back-to-back days), every other active Marlins reliever should be available to pitch in relief of Cabrera.
