The Braves suffered a notable setback as Jurickson Profar, acquired during the offseason, was suspended for 80 games due to performance-enhancing drug usage. As the team's leadoff hitter, Profar's absence forces a shift in the lineup, with Michael Harris II stepping into the leadoff role. Other outfield adjustments are made, with Jarred Kelenic moving from right field to left, and Bryan De La Cruz taking over right field. This lineup change occurs as the Braves prepare to face the Dodgers, who will also be without star Freddie Freeman.
