The Atlanta Braves have added center fielder Michael Harris II to the lineup. Harris was a late addition to the lineup, replacing Mike Yastrzemski.
With Harris dealing with lower back issues multiple times this month, it appeared he was getting a rest day against left-hander Kyle Harrison. However, Yastrzemski has been scratched from the lineup instead.
The original lineup had Eli White in left field, Mauricio Dubon in center field, and Mike Yastrzemski in right field. However, the late lineup change has Harris in center field, with Dubon moving to left and White to right field.
The new lineup would be their typical starting lineup against a lefty in the outfield at full strength. There will likely be an update on Yastrzemski being scratched from the lineup either during or after the game.
The Braves will take on the Brewers, with a first pitch of 4:10 pm ET. Left-hander Chris Sale starts for Atlanta.
