Despite the changes, the Braves are keeping their core lineup intact. Travis d’Arnaud will be behind the plate for the game, catching for Chris Sale. In addition, Orlando Arcia and Ramón Laureano have swapped positions in the lineup, but otherwise, the lineup remains consistent with yesterday’s, with Michael Harris II staying in the leadoff spot. The team is hoping for the quick return of Jorge Soler to further strengthen their batting order.
On the opposing side, the Los Angeles Angels are also adjusting their lineup. Anthony Rendon and Mickey Moniak are both out, with former Braves player Kevin Pillar and Brandon Drury stepping in.
