Starlin Castro on Marlins' bench versus Mets Game 2

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro is out of Thursday's starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of Thursdays' doubleheader.

What It Means:

Castro went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Game 1. Miguel Rojas will move to second base, opening up shortstop for JT Riddle, who will bat sixth versus Mets southpaw Jason Vargas. Chris Bostick will take Rafael Ortega's spot in left field and bat seventh. Chad Wallach will catch right-hander Jeff Brigham, sending J.T. Realmuto to the bench, and bat eighth. Lewis Brinson will bat second, Brian Anderson will hit third, and Peter O'Brien will work out of the cleanup spot. Isaac Galloway will be in the five-hole.

The Marlins entered Thursday as the third-worst team in numberFire's MLB Team Power Rankings.
