"Mike Yastrzemski, who has gotten off to a slow start as an outfielder for the Braves so far, remains in the lineup as the starting left fielder and batting eighth against right-hander Zack Littell."
"Mauricio Dubón continues to start at shortstop after starting on Tuesday and getting a day off on Monday against the right-hander Jake Irvin."
"Right now, the pattern appears to be that if Baldwin catches, Dominic Smith will be the designated hitter and if Baldwin DHs then Jonah Heim will be the starter."
"Austin Riley and Ronald Acuña Jr. have both homered off of Littell in the past, so hopefully we'll see a bit more of that later this evening."
