Spring Training Open Thread 2/28: Braves vs. Astros

Brandon Beachy makes his return to the mound for the Braves tonight after last year's season-ending elbow surgery. Plus Tommy La Stella gets a start at second base, which should be fun.

No starts from Gerald Laird, who left yesterday's game with back spasms, or Justin Upton, who has been out with a sore side.

1. Jason Heyward - RF
2. Tommy La Stella - 2B
3. Freddie Freeman - 1B
4. Evan Gattis - C
5. Chris Johnson - 3B
6. Dan Uggla - DH
7. Andrelton Simmons - SS
8. Joey Terdoslavich - LF
9. Jose Constanza - CF

You can listen to tonight's 6:05 first pitch on 1230 and 1340 AM in Atlanta.
