Austin Riley has been struggling a bit and he started yesterday’s game on the bench in lieu of a returning Ender Inciarte. He’s back in the lineup for tonight’s game.

The Braves are back in action tonight against the Nationals, and there’s already one big change for tonight’s lineup when compared to last night’s look. The big change for the Braves tonight is that Austin Riley is back in the lineup, as Ender Inciarte will be starting tonight’s game in the dugout.

Additionally, Tyler Flowers will be catching for the Braves. Both of these changes will affect the bottom part of the lineup, as the top part is what we normally expect to see from the Braves on a game-to-game basis.

In other news, here’s what Washington will look like:

From one-to-five, the Nationals are the same. The changes are from six-to-eight, which sees Howie Kendrick playing second base and batting sixth, Yan Gomes playing catcher and batting eighth, and Victor Robles moving up a spot in the lineup.
