The Atlanta Braves continue to struggle with injuries, with Orlando Arcia out of the starting lineup due to a tooth abscess. His use will vary from day to day. Zack Short took over as shortstop on Tuesday night.

And finally, Brian Snitker talked about Michael Harris II, who has been out since June 15 with a hamstring strain. There is no timetable for his return, but he could start running soon.
