Fresh off of a series win over the Philadelphia Phillies, the Atlanta Braves will close out their homestand with a two-game series against the New York Yankees. Atlanta lost both of the previous matchups against the Yankees in New York on their previous road trip.
The Braves will enter play on Tuesday with a 16-12 record and currently sit atop the NL East standings. The Yankees come into the series with a 16-9 record and are one game back of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East.
Both teams could get back a key player in time for Tuesday’s series opener.
