Travis d’Arnaud starts at catcher, batting eighth ahead of Jarred Kelenic.
As the Braves aim to claim the series win against Cleveland at home, check out the game preview with information on the pitching matchup.
The Braves are rolling with their regular lineup vs a right-handed pitcher, as has become customary in the Snitker era. Arcia bats sixth, Harris bats seventh, Travis d’Arnaud starts at catcher and bats eighth, and Jarred Kelenic bats ninth. I would expect Chadwick Tromp to get the start tomorrow in the day game for the series finale.

Meanwhile the Guardians shuffled their lineup a bit coming from the left-handed Sale to the right-handed Morton starting for the Braves. Andres Gimenez rejoins the lineup batting second, dropping Tyler Freeman to sixth. Will Brennan joins the lineup, starting in right field, as Bo Naylor starts at catcher and Estevan Florial starts at DH.

Jose Ramirez has gotten off to a relatively slow start this season and has needed some BABIP luck for it to not look any worse. Hopefully Charlie can help him continue that slow start and if he can, the Braves should feel pretty good about holding down the Cleveland offense.
Saturday’s game is scheduled to begin a 7:20 p.m. ET and can be seen on Bally Sports South.
