The Atlanta Braves will wrap up the home portion of the Grapefruit League schedule Monday against the Boston Red Sox. Ian Anderson will make his final tune up start before the regular season begins later this week. Right-hander Tanner Houck is scheduled to be on the mound for Boston.
Anderson will be making his fifth appearance of the spring Monday. He has allowed 19 hits and nine runs over 15 2/3 innings this spring. Anderson has struck out 19 and walked four over that span. A lot of the runs Anderson has given up have come late in games as he was getting stretched out. He’s looked dominate at times and appears ready for the regular season.
Houck has struggled with his control over three appearances this spring where he has walked 10 batters in just 6 1/3 innings. He’s allowed six hits and six runs over that span with just four strikeouts.
Ender Inciarte will get the start in center field and will hit eighth Monday for the Braves. Dansby Swanson was in the original lineup for Atlanta but was scratched due to right calf tightness. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at shortstop instead.
