The Atlanta Braves will play the Tampa Bay Rays Friday at 1:05 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Ian Anderson will take the mound for the Braves, as he tries to turn the page from a down 2022 season in which he posted career lows in ERA (5.00), WHIP (1.51) and ERA+ (81). The Minnesota Twins tagged four runs off Anderson in his first start of the spring February 28, as Anderson gave up four hits, three walks and two home runs. Anderson improved upon his first start on Sunday, allowing no earned runs in 2.1 innings against the New York Yankees.

Jeffery Springs will start for the Rays, coming off his best Major League season yet. Springer posted a 9-5 record, 2.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 147 ERA+ across 135.1 innings pitched and 25 starts. Springs will be a key part of a deep pitching staff for the Rays that includes Shane McClanahan, Tyler Glasnow Zach Eflin and Drew Rasmussen, in 2023.
