The Atlanta Braves' lineup was released a little later than usual today, causing fans to wonder if there were more changes than expected.
There are just a few shifts within the Braves' lineup in today’s continuation to attempt a series win, but not anything too different from yesterday’s.

Jurickson Profar and the following three positions will remain the same as yesterday’s lineup, with Michael Harris II moving up three spots to bat behind Austin
Riley.
Drake Baldwin will be batting seventh in the catcher’s spot, replacing Ozzie Albies, who moved up to the sixth hole.
The Kansas City Royals have also posted their lineup with Seth Lugo taking the mound.

The only other changes on their roster are moving Maikel Garcia from DH to third base, but keeping him in the fourth hole, with Salvador Perez taking over for DH in the next slot.
Adam Frazier will be moving to right field from third base, Freddy Fermin will take over as catcher and John Rave will take left field from MJ Melendez tonight.
Will we be seeing an even series clinched by the Royals or an early win by the Braves? There’s only one way to find out, as this series might turn out to be an interesting one.
First pitch is set for 7:40 E.T.
