Dubón Steps In as Braves Pivot Lineup | Atlanta Braves News

Mauricio Dubón is flexing his versatility big time for the Braves, stepping into second base for just the second time this season — giving Ozzie Albies a well-timed DH day to shake off his slump. With Drake Baldwin leading off and Acuña, Olson, and Harris rounding out the top of the lineup, the Braves are firing on all cylinders. Albies, hitting fifth in his first DH appearance since 2019, is followed by Dubón, Yastrzemski, Riley, and Jarvis at short. The matchup? Braves’ Martín Pérez (15 seasons) vs. Brewers’ rookie starter Logan Henderson — who debuted last year. Meanwhile, the Brewers tweak their lineup slightly, with Christian Yelich now DHing after Gary Sanchez’s Friday spot. Despite Pérez’s longevity, most Brewers hitters have limited experience against him — except Gary Sanchez (14+ at-bats) and William Contreras (solid AVG), who’ve both faced him before. This one’s got potential — and plenty of new energy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
