Bryce Elder will take the mound for the Atlanta Braves Tuesday as they begin their final homestand against the Chicago Cubs. Left-hander Justin Steele will get the start for Chicago.
The Braves will go with their regulars in the series opener with the exception of Kevin Pillar, who starts in place of Eddie Rosario with a lefty on the mound. Ronald Acuña Jr is 3-for-5 in his career against Steele. Matt Olson is 2-for-4 with a homer.

The Cubs are using what is currently their “standard” lineup against right-handers, though they’ve only used it four times before today.
