Braves vs. Red Sox Spring Training: It’s Spencer Strider Time

A long awaited debut for one of the most electric arms in baseball.

We are 10 days away from opening day. As the Braves continue preparations for a season with high expectations, all eyes will be on Spencer Strider as he makes his spring training debut against the Boston Red Sox.

First pitch on Monday afternoon is set for 1:05 p.m. ET. The game can be watched and streamed live on FanDuel Sports Southeast.

Atlanta is rolling out their mostly normal lineup today with a few absences. Jurickson Profar took batting practice on Monday and will swing again on Wednesday with the hope he returns to in-game action by the weekend. He is still out as he recovers from a bone bruise in his wrist. Top prospect Drake Baldwin continues to catch in place of Sean Murphy, who is on the mend from a cracked rib.

The Red Sox are rolling with a split-squad lineup today with old friend Vaughn Grissom batting 2nd and playing 2nd, while top prospect Roman Anthony bats third. Shane Drohan will start for Boston on the mound.
