Adrianza starts at third in Wrigley opener

The Braves lineup for the series opener at Wrigley Field looks like this... at least until the team announces that someone else (please no) has been scratched and sent to the Injured List ahead of game time.

Ehire Adrianza, who had a pinch-hit single yesterday afternoon, draws the start in lieu of Austin Riley at the hot corner. Ender Inciarte is back patrolling center in what might now be a platoon situation with him and Guillermo Heredia. The rest of the lineup is what it is at this point, it’s just a matter of the wOBA-xwOBA differential evening out for some guys, Ozuna regaining his oomph at the plate, and Ronald Acuña Jr.
