The lineups for the Jackie Robinson Day tilt between the Braves and Marlins have been released and we’re going to see a new face in Atlanta’s lineup today.
Here’s the card for the Braves:
Yep, that is Guillermo Heredia making the start in center field today. He was called up yesterday when Cristian Pache went on the IL and he’ll be making his first start since late September of last season. That was when the Mets were giving him some starts as their season was winding down, so it’s going to be a pretty big jump from helping a team play out the string to suddenly batting seventh for a team that figures to have high expectations down the road.
