Braves are back home Friday night to take on Seattle and are giving their slumping superstar a night off against tough right-handed starter Logan Gilbert.
With Profar back from the paternity list he moves back to his customary lead off spot with Ozzie Albies taking over the 3-hole in Acuña’s absence. Drake Baldwin gets a start at catcher, which has become a nightly update, and new shortstop Ha-Seong Kim getting up as high as fifth in the lineup with slumping Marcell Ozuna all the way down to seventh. Jake Fraley takes over for Acuña in right field with a RHP on the mound with Nacho Alvarez rounding out the lineup.
