Brian McCann has struggled with a sore right shoulder for the past few weeks. After taking a cortisone shot last week the All-Star catcher hoped he would be feeling back to normal, but that is not the case. For the second game in a row, McCann will rest on the bench while David Ross makes the start.
The rest of the lineup looks pretty familiar for the Braves. Here it is for Saturday's game, which is also MLB's Civil Rights Game.
