Ronald Acuna is not batting leadoff for the first time since 2019, as Jurickson Profar assumes that position. The lineup adjustment is due to Austin Riley being placed on the 10-day IL with a strained abdomen. Marcell Ozuna returns as the designated hitter batting fifth, while Sean Murphy starts at catcher after a strong performance in the previous game. Aaron Bummer will start a bullpen game for the Braves, with Joey Wentz possibly contributing innings. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have modified their lineup, sitting Nolan Arenado and incorporating Thomas Saggese at third base.
