Markakis gets another day off, Hechavarria starts again against Marlins

The Braves lineup against the Marlins for the second game of their series has an interesting look to it. The top four hitters, especially with Ozzie Albies still out, shouldn’t be a surprise at this point with Acuna, Dansby, Freddie, and Ozuna occupying those spots.

Austin Riley continues to get moved up the lineup, but the reason for this particular move is noteworthy because Nick Markakis, who hasn’t gotten a hit in a game since August, gets another day off. Another lineup move of note is that Adeiny Hechavarria gets the start at second again with Johan Camargo struggling at the plate.
