Game Preview: Marlins at Braves Tonight
Tonight the Marlins visit Atlanta for a Monday game at Truist Park during week 55. Miami hopes Eury Pérez can lead the rotation while Sandy Alcántara works back toward his old form. Atlanta counters with Grant Holmes as the probable starter and strong veterans in the bullpen. The stadium will buzz as throws hum and cleats scrape dirt. Fans will watch pitching matchups closely, because pitching will likely decide this early season battle.
Key Players and Injuries To Watch
Watch Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson as Atlanta standouts who bring power and defense. Acuña can change a game with speed and power, while Olson shines at first base. Miami features young arms like Eury Pérez, Max Meyer, and Chris Paddack for pitching depth. Note injured players: Spencer Strider is on the 15-day IL and several Marlins like Griffin Conine are on the 10-day IL. These injuries affect team depth and strategy.
What To Expect During The Game
Expect strong pitching duels and quick defensive plays while the teams feel each other out. Braves rely on veteran arms and a steady bullpen led by Raisel Iglesias. Marlins hope Perez and young starters give length to games so the bullpen can rest. Fans will hear the crack of the bat and see diving catches. If pitching holds, runs will be scarce and strategy will decide the winner.
