Ozzie Albies is back, a righty is back on the mound for the opposing team, Sean Murphy is starting a second game in a row, the usual:

Actually, that’s a lie. The Braves only began to drop their catchers in the lineup in earnest after Albies got hurt, so they’ve only used this lineup once before, and ended up losing 7-6 to the Mets. But, this is the usual starting nine, appearing for the 40th time in 131 games, as weird as that is to read.
