For the first time this season, the Atlanta Braves are welcoming in their divisional rivals from South Florida as the Miami Marlins are rolling into town. It’s also Kyle Wright Day for the Braves, as the former Vanderbilt hurler will be taking on Trevor Rogers in what should be a very intriguing pitching matchup tonight.
As of writing, the Braves have already posted their lineup and the most interesting name to make it into tonight’s starting nine is Travis Demeritte! The former Braves prospect who eventually made his major league debut with the Detroit Tigers will be making his Braves debut tonight and the obvious hope is that whatever he’s found in Triple-A can translate to the majors.
