Camargo in at short for Rockies series opener

Here’s the handy dandy Statcast preview graphic for tonight’s series-opening tilt between the Braves and Rockies.

While likely just a routine day of rest for Dansby Swanson, the Braves are showing a fair bit of faith in starting Camargo against two consecutive right-handers. In addition, Max Fried is, at least theoretically, a groundball pitcher, so Camargo’s range and aptitude at shortstop may be tested fairly often, though the Rockies being relatively less prone to groundballs may mitigate this to a large extent.

The Rockies have been dreadful against left-handed pitching so far, which bodes well for Max Fried.
