Guillermo Heredia’s reward for a homer and stellar defensive play Friday evening? Drawing a start in left field on Saturday, apparently.
Heredia now has a cool 127 wRC+ and 1.1 fWAR in just 147 PAs, though he’s outhitting his xwOBA of .315 by a ton. Still, the Braves will take it, given how much of the roster has underperformed their inputs for pretty much the whole season.
Ender Inciarte draws the start in center field as Heredia shifts over, sending Abraham Almonte to the bench. Almonte had started 19 straight games coming into the day.
