How to watch the last Braves home game of spring training versus the Red Sox

We're almost there, folks. Opening Day is on Thursday...but we've gotta finish Spring Training first. 

The Atlanta Braves wrap up the home Grapefruit League schedule with a matchup in North Port against the Boston Red Sox. Here's how Atlanta will line up for the contest:

Starting for the Braves today is veteran reliever Jesse Chavez - with Atlanta being so close to Thursday's opening day, it's typical to see the bullpens and non-MLB players used heavily in the last few Spring Training games so that your starting pitchers are rested and ready for Opening Day. 

The other pitchers that will appear in the contest are Collin McHugh, Joe Jiménez, Lucas Luetge, Dylan Lee and Nick Anderson.

Chavez, 39, has the distinction of being the most traded player in MLB history. He's been moved ten times in his career, including being sent (along with pitcher Tucker Davidson) to the Angels at the trade deadline last year for closer Raisel Iglesias, only to be released by the Angels and rejoin Atlanta just weeks later. In his fourteen year major league career, he's played for eight different teams, with multiple stints with the Braves (3), Angels (2), Texas (2), and Cubs (2). 

Here's how the Red Sox plan to line up for the contest:

1. RF Alex Verdugo

2. 3B Rafael Devers

3. 1B Justin Turner

4. LF Masataka Yoshida

5. CF Adam Duvall

6. DH Triston Casas

7. 2B Christian Arroyo

8. SS Kiké Hernández

9. C Connor Wong  

As is typical for the end of spring training, this is essentially what the Red Sox will roll out there on Opening Day - prospect Triston Casas has officially made the team, but he is at DH in deference for veteran Justin Turner and to ease him back into action after "left fifth finger pain" caused him to miss time late last week. 

The pitchers expect to throw for Boston today are RHP Tanner Houck, RHP Chris Martin, and RHP Josh Winckowski. 

The game is being broadcast in Braves Country on Bally Sports Southeast, and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on WIFN 1340 AM/103.7FM or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
