After a well-deserved day off, the Atlanta Braves are back on the diamond, energized and prepared to face the Miami Marlins. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite team to Truist Park for what promises to be an exciting series opener.
Strategic Roster Moves: New Talent Bolsters the Braves' Lineup

Gusto on the Mound: A Familiar Foe for the Braves
The Miami Marlins will send right-handed pitcher Ryan Gusto to the mound. Historically, Gusto has struggled against the Braves, holding an 0-2 record with 12 earned runs allowed in two previous encounters. This trend could favor the Braves as they seek to capitalize on his past performance.

Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in right field after serving as designated hitter in the previous series finale. Mike Yastrzemski will cover left field and bat sixth, while Dominic Smith steps in as the designated hitter, batting seventh. Austin Riley retains his eighth spot, and Jim Jarvis will continue as the everyday shortstop. Mauricio Dubón will be available off the bench.
