Miami Marlins vs Milwaukee Brewers Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 18, 2026
Final Lineups
Miami Marlins @ Milwaukee Brewers · Saturday, Jul 18, 2026
Miami has no MLB history against Shane Drohan. Otto Lopez, Heriberto Hernández, Kyle Stowers, Xavier Edwards, Javier Sanoja, Liam Hicks, Leo Jiménez, Esteury Ruiz, and Joe Mack have not faced him in the majors. That makes this a completely unfamiliar matchup for the entire Marlins lineup.
Milwaukee has at least a little prior exposure to Max Meyer, though most of it is limited. William Contreras is 1-for-2 with a .500 average and 1.000 OPS, and Garrett Mitchell is also 1-for-2 with a .500 average and 1.000 OPS. Brice Turang is hitless in 2 at-bats over 2 plate appearances with a 0.000 OPS, while Jake Bauers is hitless in 1 at-bat over 1 plate appearance with a 0.500 OPS and Joey Ortiz is hitless in 1 at-bat over 1 plate appearance with a 0.000 OPS. Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, Luis Lara, and Cooper Pratt have no MLB history versus Meyer.
Milwaukee clearly has more familiarity with the opposing starter, even if the sample is small. Miami enters with a full lineup of hitters seeing Drohan for the first time in MLB action.
