Braves re-deploy Flaherty at third in Friday night lineup

Here’s how the Braves line up against Dan Straily and the Miami Marlins tonight:

Ender Inciarte, who has hit leadoff, seventh, and ninth this year, will make his second start of the season in the six-hole. Ryan Flaherty gets the start at third base in lieu of Jose Bautista. Given that the Braves are (finally) facing a right-handed starter again, this suggests that at least for the time being, Bautista and Flaherty find themselves in a platoon. Or, it’s just a one-game break for Bautista. Your guess is as good as mine.
