Dansby Swanson is back in the lineup and he’ll be hitting in the eighth spot of the lineup. With Charlie Culberson back on the bench, that means that Tyler Flowers has moved up a spot in the lineup. Other than that, the top six of Atlanta’s batting order is identical from what it looked like last night.
Meanwhile, here’s what the Marlins will be looking like this evening:
