The Braves had to cover seven innings with their bullpen on Friday night after Bryce Elder’s two-inning disaster start, so Herget will join the bullpen on Saturday to provide a fresh arm that’s capable of working multiple innings. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

The Phillies are starting a tough left-hander in Jesus Luzardo on Saturday night, so it makes sense why the Braves would want to get Harris a breather. The 24-year-old outfielder has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season, slashing a dreadful .212/.238/.320 with six homers, 43 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 68/10 K/BB ratio over his first 326 plate appearances. Eli White will man center field in his absence on Saturday.

The Braves continue to shuttle Petersen back and forth from Triple-A anytime that they need a fresh arm for their bullpen. The 31-year-old hurler threw 61 pitches over 2 2/3 innings against the Phillies on Friday night, giving up one run on four hits and a pair of walks while striking out two. Unfortunately, that means he won’t be available for a couple of days so the Braves are sending him back out to get another arm active for Saturday’s contest. Petersen should get another opportunity with the big league club in relatively short order.

It was already 11-0 Phillies by the time Acuna was due for his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning on Friday. The Braves decided to throw in the towel at that point and give the 27-year-old superstar outfielder the rest of the night off. Stuart Fairchild came off the bench and hit two doubles, which were the Braves’ only extra-base hits on the night. Acuna should be back in the lineup for Atlanta’s next game on Saturday.
