As expected, Sean Murphy gets the start for Travis d'Arnaud who was added to the 7-day concussion IL. With TDA not being available as a designated hitter, expect Marcell Ozuna - currently 2 for 24 in his seven games, both homers - to get a majority of the DH starts until/unless Atlanta decides to move on. Eddie Rosario is in right field, with Sam Hilliard continuing to start over Eli White in center for an injured Michael Harris II.

Starting for the Braves is prospect Dylan Dodd, Fresh off of an exemplary debut versus the St. Louis Cardinals. On the road, he went five innings with six hits but only one earned run, while walking none but striking out three. Dodd's approach will be the same versus the potent Padres lineup - keep the ball down, inducing groundballs and avoiding fly balls. In his debut versus the Cardinals, he allowed a below-average number of barrels per plate appearance, although the barrels that did connect connected HARD. Dodd's average exit velocity allowed - 94.7MPH - is in the bottom 6% of the league, although standard sample size caveats do apply.

Opposing Atlanta is Seth Lugo. A longtime member of the Mets, he's experienced against Atlanta, having faced the Braves 27 times in his career, although mostly in relief. His official record is 4-5 with an 4.06 ERA in 51 career innings, with forty-nine strikeouts to fifteen walks. Multiple Braves have home runs off of Lugo in their career, including Ozzie Albies, Matt Olson, Austin Riley, and Eddie Rosario. Olson is a perfect 2-2 against Lugo, while Ronald Acuña Jr. is 5-10 with three RBIs.

Tonight's game is a national broadcast, with first pitch coming in at 7:10 PM ET on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. The radio call with Ben Ingram is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
