"One thing at a time - the Braves must not let Braxton Garrett get right. As we mentioned in the preview, his return to the majors did not go amazingly (1.1 innings, 5 ER). The cleanup man Ozzie Albies is 4-for-5 with an OPS of 2.033 against him. Concerningly, our big boppers with the most ABs against him haven't solved him yet: Matt Olson and Austin Riley have 10 and 8 ABs against Garrett, respectively, with no hits (although Riley has walked thrice)."
Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to the Braves lineup and resumes his leadoff role as the designated hitter after being available off the bench. José Azócar moves to right field and bats seventh. Aaron Bummer was released following his role in a recent loss. Drake Baldwin suffers an oblique strain, leading to Chadwick Tromp’s recall from Triple-A. The Braves must rely on next-man-up contributions while hoping recent turnarounds from Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Riley are real. The Braves also need to prevent Braxton Garrett from getting comfortable, given Ozzie Albies’ strong performance against him and continued struggles from key hitters like Matt Olson and Austin Riley. The Marlins adjust their lineup to counter a left-handed pitcher.
