Starting Lineups
Boston Red Sox @ Miami Marlins · Tuesday, Aug 25, 2026
Tyler Phillips faces an away batting order with very limited past exposure against him. Willson Contreras is 0-for-1 with a .000 OPS across his lone plate appearance. Jarren Duran is also 0-for-1 with a .000 OPS in his single trip, while Anthony Seigler went 0-for-1 with a .000 OPS in his only matchup. The rest of the lineup, including Nick Sogard, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Mickey Gasper, Andruw Monasterio, and Connor Wong, has no prior MLB history against Phillips.
Payton Tolle encounters an entirely fresh slate of hitters in this matchup. None of the home team's starters have ever faced the left-hander in regular-season action. Otto Lopez, Heriberto Hernández, Agustín Ramírez, Javier Sanoja, Xavier Edwards, Leo Jiménez, Griffin Conine, Esteury Ruiz, and Brian Navarreto all enter the contest with no prior MLB history against Tolle.
The away side holds the edge in familiarity simply by having three hitters who have stepped into the box against Phillips, whereas the home club has zero collective plate appearances against Tolle.
