The Atlanta Braves are set to face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game series as part of their ongoing road trip. The matchup is scheduled for Friday night with Charlie Morton taking the mound for Atlanta and Gavin Stone pitching for Los Angeles.
In a strategic move for the Braves, Travis d’Arnaud will be hitting in the sixth spot in the lineup for Friday’s game. Additionally, Jarred Kelenic is returning to the lineup after missing Wednesday’s game, where he will be batting ninth and playing in left field.
On the Dodgers’ side, they are fielding their regular players for the opener, with rookie Andy Pages in right field and batting seventh, and Gavin Lux starting at second base and batting ninth.
The game is set to kick off at 10:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium and will be broadcast on Bally Sports South.
