What is the story about?
As the WBC rages on, the Grapefruit League plods along as well. Today, the Braves will give Carlos Carrasco a chance to eat some more exhibition innings as they give their regulars a few hacks in a home game against the Twins. Minnesota is sending a mixed bag of starters and not-starters, and will be giving the ball to Zebby Matthews, who is pitching for a potential rotation spot in the wake of Pablo Lopez’ injury. Matthews actually pitched really well in 16 starts last year (91 FIP- and xFIP-) but
somehow unfortunately got saddled with a 135 ERA- in the process.
This will be the fourth time the Braves and Twins have tangled already this Spring Training.
