Braves deploy the same lineup that worked yesterday, except that Travis d’Arnaud gets the start

After yesterday’s clobbering of the Rays, the Braves are deploying pretty much the same lineup against the Rays on Sunday as they go for the sweep, with a Travis d’Arnaud-in-for-Sean-Murphy swap the only change:

The Rays have moved a bunch of lineup pieces around, but these names should all be familiar to anyone who tuned in to the first two games of this series:


That said, it’s actually kind of a strange alignment, as this will be Richie Palacios’ first start at third base this year; he’s played second base and both corner outfield spots to this point in the season. As far as I can tell, Palacios has never played third base in the majors at all.

Everyone else has appeared at their listed position at least once, but not necessarily all that commonly: this will be Yandy Diaz’ 11th time DHing, Isaac Paredes third game at first, and Josh Lowe’s 15th game in right field.
