Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (sore right shoulder) and shortstop Brandon Crawford (non-COVID-19 illness) are both questionable.
Marlins designated hitter Garrett Cooper (right side muscle tightness) is hopeful of playing Friday. He was injured in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Rockies in Colorado.
Longoria has been out of the starting lineup the last two days but has pinch hit in both games. Crawford was in the original lineup Thursday before being scratched.
Outfielder Austin Slater (left wrist inflammation) could be activated from the injured list after being sidelined since May 23.

Giants vs Marlins Prediction
Cobb looked good in his last start but and his expected metrics are strong. However, he is not having the best of luck this season. So, it is worth taking a shot on fading the Giants as Hernandez is having at least a modicum of success at home.
Pick: Marlins ML (+123)
