Reliever Chris Martin returns after sitting out the NLDS. Martin, who has been one of the teams most reliable pitchers the past few seasons struggled in 2021. The hope is a few days off to rest and stretch out will do him well.

The Braves also brought up Johan Camargo. Camargo has been in the playoffs before and had a very good season in Gwinnett. He can also play almost any position on the field.

Outfielder Christian Pache will remain on the roster in place of Jorge Soler who remains on the COVID-19 reserve list. The Braves are hoping Soler will be able to return at some point during this series.
