If you had Alex Jackson as the Opening Day catcher for the Atlanta Braves then you should win a prize. That however is the circumstance they will be dealing with after Brian Snitker announced that both Tyler Flowers and Travis d’Arnaud have been placed on the COVID list and are back in Atlanta. Jackson and William Contreras have both been recalled to take their place on the active roster.
The rest of Brian Snitker’s lineup is as expected. Marcell Ozuna will make his first regular season start for Atlanta in left field and will hit cleanup. Matt Adams is the DH and will hit fifth while Austin Riley gets the start at third base and will hit sixth.
