The Braves will have to wait one more day before playing their 2024 season opener.
Because of heavy rain expected in Philadelphia, Thursday’s opener against the Phillies has been postponed until Friday. The starting pitching matchup will remain the same – Spencer Strider for the Braves and Zach Wheeler for the Phillies – and the first pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m.
Friday originally was scheduled as an off-day in the three-game series to open the season, but now the Braves are facing six games in six days – Friday through Sunday in Philadelphia and Monday through Wednesday in Chicago against the White Sox.
After an off-day Thursday, the Braves will open their 2024 home schedule April 5 against the Diamondbacks at Truist Park.
