The lineups for the Braves and Nationals game tonight have been revealed, so let’s start talking about them.
Here’s how the Braves are looking this evening:

Happy Max Fried Day, indeed. The only change from Sunday’s lineup (aside from the pitcher) is that Joc Pederson is back in the lineup and playing center field after Eddie Rosario played CF in the last game. Other than that, there’s a whole lot of familiar faces in that lineup for the Braves.
Meanwhile, here’s how the Nats are looking:
Juan Soto this month:

Compared to yesterday, the Nationals have slotted in Riley Adams as the catcher, while Yadiel Hernandez and Carter Kieboom have both switched spots. The top four is unchanged and as you’d expect, Juan Soto is the main danger man in Washington’s lineup at this point. So they’ve made a couple of changes but there’s no wholesale changes going on with the Nationals, here.
