Braves are once again trying a new lineup configuration.
It’s a new day so it must be a new lineup for that Atlanta Braves.

After news came out Monday that Marcell Ozuna has a tear in his hip, GM Alex Anthopoulos confirmed Ozuna could still play, but would just have to manage the pain until the off-season. The first lineup we see after that notably has Ozuna down to the 5th spot in the order instead of his normal 3rd. Riley takes over in that spot with Drake Baldwin keeping his customary spot in the 2-hole. Also notable even with a RH starter on the mound in Zac Gallen, manger Brian Snitker elected to have Nick Allen ahead of Michael Harris II, with Harris now in the 9-hole.
Diamondbacks countered with their lineup:

Corbin Carroll is one of the best lead-off men in baseball and Ketel Marte has been hot of late and current sports a .930 OPS. Of course Braves fan remember when the Eugenio Suarez crushed 4 home runs in one game against Atlanta on April 26th in Phoenix, though it did come in a losing effort.
