Emerging superstar Juan Soto is out for the Nationals. But Washington's injury list is nothing compared to the Marlins. Out for Miami are Starling Marte, Brian Anderson, Jorge Alfaro, Jazz Chisholm, Corey Dickerson and Garrett Cooper. 

The Marlins have to count on Pablo Lopez to keep them in this game and Lopez has been dreadful against the Nationals. Lopez has a 6.61 versus Washington. That ERA climbs to 8.10 in four starts at Washington. 

Veteran Jon Lester is set to make his season debut for the Nationals.
