Ronald Acuña Jr. has returned from the World Baseball Classic and resumes his standard position batting leadoff, while Travis d'Arnaud gets the start behind the plate in lieu of Sean Murphy. New starting shortstop Orlando Arcia bats ninth, while Marcell Ozuna is the cleanup hitter against a Mets squad that's full of mostly regulars, as is typical for some of the final matchups of spring training:

Starting for the Braves is prospect lefty Jared Shuster, who is battling with fellow prospect Dylan Dodd for the 5th rotation spot that was initially expected to go to Ian Anderson or Bryce Elder, both of who were optioned to AAA Gwinnett a week ago. 

Shuster is one of the league leaders in ERA in spring training, sitting at 0.71 in his 12.2 innings pitched with two walks to sixteen strikeouts and the only run allowed being a solo home run to Pittsburgh's Bryan Reynolds. 

Dodd is just ahead of Shuster, though, with a 0.69 ERA through 13 innings and two walks to fifteen strikeouts. His single run allowed is also a solo home run, this to Philadelphia's Brandon Marsh. 

Today's game is available on Bally Sports Southeast, while the radio call is available in the metro Atlanta area on WIFN 1340 AM/103.7FM.
