Hechavarria making first 2020 start in Mets series opener

Here’s your Braves lineup for this Friday night contest, which has not yet been cancelled:

This is a “new” lineup, as Adeiny Hechavarria makes his first start of 2020, batting eighth. He replaces Ozzie Albies at the keystone, with the latter sitting as a combination day-off-slash-a-small-wrist-problem thing. Dansby Swanson, who has murdered the baseball to start this shortened season, moves up to the two-hole in Albies’ absence.

The Mets, meanwhile, are deployed as follows:

No Jeff McNeil in this lineup, as Andres Gimenez makes his second start of the year, and first start at third base, of the season.
