- 2B Jonathan India (125 wRC+ this season, bats right)
- 3B Nick Senzel (97, R)
- 1B Spencer Steer (100, R)
- DH Tyler Stephenson (91, R)
- CF Stuart Fairchild (98, R)
- LF Henry Ramos (74, S)
- RF Wil Myers (50, R)
- SS Kevin Newman (43, R)
- C Luke Maile (119, R)
RHP Luke Weaver (65 ERA+ this season)
Reds Notes: Jake Fraley has been the difference-maker in this series, driving in eight of Cincinnati’s 13 runs. Only Jorge Soler and Jazz Chisholm Jr. have more RBI at LoanDepot Park in 2023 than Fraley does. Let that sink in….Weaver joined the Reds rotation on April 20 and has allowed at least four earned runs in every start. He struggles to prevent homers…After throwing 55 pitches over the last two days, closer Alexis Díaz won’t be available.

- SS Jon Berti (90 wRC+ this season, bats right)
- 1B Garrett Cooper (97, R)
- 2B Luis Arraez (151, L)
- DH Jorge Soler (124, R)
- LF Bryan De La Cruz (91, R)
- 3B Jean Segura (33, R)
- RF Peyton Burdick (153, R)
- C Nick Fortes (41, R)
- CF Garrett Hampson (98, R)
LHP Braxton Garrett (73 ERA+ this season)
Pregame Roster Moves: 1B Garrett Cooper (inner ear infection) returned from rehab and reinstated from the 10-day IL; OF Jesús Sánchez (right hamstring strain) placed on 10-day IL
Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Berti, Burdick, Cooper, Fortes and Hampson in, Peyton Burdick, Yuli Gurriel, Jesús Sánchez, Jacob Stallings and Joey Wendle out
Additional Marlins Notes: The Marlins offense is completely devoid of left-handed power for the time being with Sánchez landing on the IL and Jazz Chisholm Jr. taking it day-to-day with a right foot contusion…Garrett has large platoon splits, particularly this season. Right-handed batters have combined for a 1.020 OPS against him compared to a .632 OPS for lefties. That’s why the Reds are deploying an all-RHB lineup.
