Marlins Prepare to Face Max Fried in Atlanta's Truist Park on Tuesday
The Miami Marlins would love to get a win.
Faced with a "TBA" on the schedule for tomorrow's series finale, Miami would love to take down the Atlanta Braves today to set up a potential series win.
But before that, they have to get through lefty Max Fried, who is making his 14th career start against the Marlins. Lefty Trevor Rogers takes the mound for Miami, hoping to improve on their 6-18 record.

There’s some interesting sample sizes against Fried on Miami’s roster: OF Jesús Sánchez is 4-7 with a homer, 1B Josh Bell is 7-20 with four RBIs, and 2B Luis Arraez is 1-1 with a walk and a HBP, while CF Jazz Chisholm Jr. is only 2-13, albeit with a homer.

Rogers has returned from an injury-marred 2023 to put up respectable results so far this season, going 0-2 with a 3.92 ERA in his four starts. He’s hoping to get off the Braves skid in this one; across eight career starts, Rogers is 0-6 with a 5.70 ERA versus Atlanta. Several Braves have absolutely crushed Rogers in their careers, with Ronald Acuña Jr. (.455), Marcell Ozuna (.214), Austin Riley (.235), and Travis d’Arnaud (.500) all having taken him deep.
