"Michael Harris II was seen favoring his ailing quad during last night's win over the Tigers, and as such, it's not surprising to see him get another breather in a short turnaround matinee game."
"The absence of Harris is part of a wholesale rejiggering of the bottom of the order on getaway day: Kyle Farmer starts at DH and hits seventh, Jorge Mateo is in at shortstop and hitting eighth while Mauricio Dubon moves to left field."
"Only five batters in the lineup have faced him, none have more than six PAs, and the collective line is a .224 wOBA and .297 xwOBA in a whopping 17 PAs."
"Really, there's mostly good history here among everyone except Dubon and Drake Baldwin, with a collective .344 wOBA and .330 xwOBA in 79 PAs."
Michael Harris II is resting due to a quad injury, leading to significant changes in the Braves' lineup. Kyle Farmer will start at DH, Jorge Mateo at shortstop, and Mauricio Dubon moves to left field. Eli White will play center field. The Tigers are starting familiar players, with Jake Rogers replacing Dillon Dingler. Bryce Elder faces a mostly unfamiliar lineup, while the Braves have a good history against Framber Valdez, particularly with players like Ozzie Albies. This is Kyle Farmer's first start of the season.
