Avisail Garcia Scratched Late as Marlins Take on Astros

The Miami Marlins needed to make a last-minute change to their lineup ahead of Sunday’s interleague game with the Houston Astros. Right fielder Avisail Garcia was scratched ahead of first pitch, with a cascading effect on the rest of the lineup.

Willians Astudillo drew into the lineup, playing third base and batting sixth. Consequently, Luke Williams moved to left field, with Bryan De La Cruz taking over Garcia’s usual spot in right field.
