Two catchers, as requested by the people.
The Braves, who are without Marcell Ozuna this week in Toronto, are starting both Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy on Tuesday night. Baldwin will be behind the plate to catch Spencer Schwellenbach, while Murphy will serve as the designated hitter.
Presumably, the two catchers will swap roles for Wednesday’s day game as Spencer Strider makes his long-awaited return to the mound.
Here’s how the rest of the lineup shakes out. Eli White is in left field again while Jarred Kelenic returns to right after sitting on Monday. Nick Allen is at shortstop; without coming out and saying it, he is effectively Atlanta’s starting shortstop until further notice.

The Blue Jays couldn’t get much of anything going against Grant Holmes on Monday evening and will look for better results with a similar lineup against Schwellenbach:
Tonight, we are all Number 42. #Jackie42

A win on Tuesday would mean back-to-back wins for the Braves for the first time all season. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m. ET.
