What's Happening?
Heriberto Hernandez of the Miami Marlins will not be starting in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. Hernandez, who recently hit a two-run homer in Friday's game, will be replaced by Dane Myers in left field. Myers will bat sixth in the lineup. Hernandez's absence from the starting lineup is notable given his recent performance, which included a home run and a run scored.
Why It's Important?
Hernandez's benching could impact the Marlins' strategy and performance in the doubleheader against a strong opponent like the Braves. His recent success at the plate has been a key factor in the team's offensive lineup. The decision to rest him may be strategic, allowing him to conserve energy for the second game or future matches. This move also provides an opportunity for Dane Myers to showcase his skills and potentially secure a more permanent spot in the lineup.
