Braves roll with new normal against the Astros
"The Braves are going with what may be settling in as the regular lineup for the remainder of the season. Drake Baldwin is catching and batting cleanup, as he blessedly should get a lot of playing time down the home stretch. Ha-Seong Kim is settling in at the sixth spot, starting every day at shortstop. Michael Harris bats seventh, Marcell Ozuna bats eighth, and Nacho brings up the rear of the lineup."
"Meanwhile, the Astros are still without their star shortstop Jeremy Pena, and have a lineup with much less depth than we have gotten used to from them over this long stretch of success. Carlos Correa plays third base and leads off for them, as he rejoined the team in a blockbuster deadline deal. All-World designated hitter, Yordan Alvarez bats second as their most imposing bat."
Atlanta’s lineup appears to settle for the remainder of the season, with Drake Baldwin catching and batting cleanup and expected to receive substantial playing time down the stretch. Ha-Seong Kim is firmly positioned at sixth and will start every day at shortstop. Michael Harris bats seventh, Marcell Ozuna bats eighth, and Nacho bats ninth. Houston remains without shortstop Jeremy Pena and presents a lineup with reduced depth compared with its recent runs of success. Carlos Correa plays third base and leads off after rejoining the team via a deadline trade. Yordan Alvarez bats second as the primary offensive threat. Tonight’s game starts at 7:15 PM ET and will be available on the usual platforms.
