The Atlanta Braves will begin a seven-game road trip Friday night when they begin a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. Atlanta is 9-11 on the season and will enter play Friday in fourth place in the NL East standings. Ian Anderson will get the start for Atlanta while Texas will go with right-hander Garrett Richards as an opener with Spencer Howard expected to follow him.
As expected, Ronald Acuña Jr. is not in Friday’s lineup. Travis Demeritte will move back to right field and will be in the leadoff spot for the first time. Guillermo Heredia will start in left field while William Contreras will be behind the plate.
