AI Summary

Leo Jimenez went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts as the Marlins' designated hitter, continuing struggles in an underutilized DH role.

Carlos Jimenez Graham Pauley Griffin Conine Agustin Ramirez Chicago Cubs Miami Marlins

The right-handed-hitting Jimenez was limited to playing against lefties previously, but since Graham Pauley got sent down, he's started three of the Marlins' five games against righties. He did collect three hits last night, which was probably why he was back in there today, but the DH spot really isn't being optimized while being filled by a utilityman with a career .211/.309/.322 line in 283 major league plate appearances. The Marlins will probably keep mixing and matching until Griffin Conine comes off the IL or Agustin Ramirez returns from exile.
