What's Happening?
Maximo Acosta has been added to the Miami Marlins' lineup for their game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Acosta will bat ninth and play shortstop, stepping in after Otto Lopez was scratched from the lineup due to undisclosed reasons. This marks an opportunity for Acosta, who has had limited MLB experience, going 1-for-10 with a solo home run in his initial appearances. The 22-year-old has shown potential in Triple-A with a .711 OPS over 431 plate appearances.
Why It's Important?
Acosta's inclusion in the lineup provides him with a chance to prove his capabilities at the major league level.
