Josh Bell, Jake Burger Making Marlins Debuts Wednesday
1 year agoMiami Marlins infielders Josh Bell and Jake Burger are both in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler. The Marlins acquired the former AL Central players prior to Tuesday's MLB trade deadline as Bell will man first base out of the three-hole while Burger gets the nod at third base and will hit sixth in his Marlins debut. Bell, 30, hasn't had his best season at the plate in 2023 as he's hitting just .233 with 11 home runs and a .701 OPS across 97 games on the season. Burger, however, has enjoyed a fruitful campaign, hitting just .214 but also launched 25 home runs alongside an .806 OPS across 88 appearances with the White Sox.
