Tyler Flowers

Tyler Flowers (hand) is starting at catcher for Atlanta

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers is in the lineup, batting fifth on Thursday.

What It Means:

Flowers is making his first start since suffering a bruised hand on September 13. Kurt Sukui heads back to the bench.

The Braves own a 4.21 implied run total against Tanner Roark and the Washington Nationals, making Flowers a risky play as he costs $3,100 on Thursday.
