The Atlanta Braves are back in action against the Miami Marlins and their lineup has been posted. Check out changes and the starting nine for the Braves as they get ready to wrap up the series against the Marlins before getting a day off.
Yesterday's Changes:
Braves manager, Fredi Gonzalez gave Jason Heyward the night off on Tuesday. However, Heyward is back and he will be playing right field. Gonzalez also had Andrelton Simmons play shortstop and hit second and the Braves immediately saw the payoff as Simmons scored two runs after getting two hits in the game. Gattis continues to enjoy hitting cleanup after hitting another home run, his second of the year. Justin Upton missed his seventh home run of the season with a shot to dead center that hit off the base of the wall, but would have been a home run anywhere else.
Here is today's lineup: (changes from yesterday's lineup are in bold)
1. Andrelton Simmons SS
2. Jason Heyward RF
3. Justin Upton LF
4. Evan Gattis C
5. Dan Uggla 2B
6. Juan Francisco 3B
