The Phillies will avoid Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna and Christian Yelich in tonight's series finale against the Marlins. In the final meeting of the year between the Phils and Marlins, all three starting outfielders have the night off. That's a pretty decent break for the Phillies considering those three are by far Miami's best hitters.
The Marlins are also making a pitching change — instead of starting Jose Urena, Vance Worley gets the nod against his former team.
The Phillies have already clinched the season series against the Marlins and a win tonight would make them 11-8. Against Miami and Atlanta this season, the Phils are a combined 22-12.
For the Phillies, Cesar Hernandez is back in the lineup after sitting two consecutive nights. J.P. Crawford shifts from second base to third base, and Maikel Franco is playing first.
Rhys Hoskins is back in left field and Aaron Altherr gets the night off.
