Hoping to even the series (I guess), the Braves bring Marcell Ozuna back into the lineup as DH, but bats seventh, a precipitous drop. The now part-time DH drops in the lineup as his struggles continue and his time in Atlanta likely wraps up. Drake Baldwin continues to bat cleanup, getting the start at catcher and Austin Riley slots in at fifth again in his second game off the IL.

Meanwhile, the Rangers shuffle their lineup around, facing the righty
Holmes, instead of the lefty Wentz. Seager, Semien, Garcia, and Langford remain in the same spots in the lineup, while Josh Jung drops to eighth and Jonah Heim drops to ninth. Sam Haggerty takes over leading off, Evan Carter bats fifth, and Rowdy Tellez bats seventh, playing first.
