UP NEXT:
Braves RHP Anibal Sanchez (6-4, 3.13 ERA) will start the third game of the series on Saturday. LHP Wei-Yin Chen (4-9, 5.20) will start for Miami.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Braves: C Kurt Suzuki missed his third straight game because of bruised left triceps. Suzuki sustained the injury after he was hit by a pitch in the ninth inning of Atlanta's game against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Manager Brian Snitker said Suzuki was available to pinch-hit.
Marlins: As expected, LHP Jarlin Garcia was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Garcia was hit on the left leg by a line drive from Atlanta's Nick Markakis in the fifth inning of Thursday's series opener. To make room for Garcia, Miami reinstated RHP Kyle Barraclough from the DL. ... The Marlins placed RHP Elieser Hernandez on the 10-day DL because of a blister on his pitching hand and recalled RHP Ben Meyer from Triple-A New Orleans.
REALMUTO'S STRUGGLES:
J.T. Realmuto went 0 for 3 and is now hitless in his last 16 at-bats. Realmuto's last hit came in a 2-for-5 performance against Washington on Sunday. He remains one home run shy of tying his regular-season high of 17.
