The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins are back at it again on Sunday with Sean Newcomb taking the hill for Atlanta. Miami will counter with right hander Jose Urena.
Ryan Flaherty returns to the lineup on Sunday against the right hander Urena. Flaherty got the start on Friday as well and while Brian Snitker was reluctant to call it a platoon situation for Flaherty and Jose Bautista, that certainly appears to be how the situation is trending.
Ender Inciarte moves up to the fifth spot in the order while Kurt Suzuki is back in there after an off day on Saturday.

Starlin Castro looked like his back was bothering him in the 9th inning last night. But he's back in the #Marlins lineup anyway
