Jose Bautista will play third base and bat fifth for the Braves against the Giants tonight at SunTrust Park.
The Braves have returned home from a 10-game road trip, in which they were 7-3 and took over the lead in the National League East, by 1-1/2 games over the Mets. Prized rookie Ronald Acuna will make his regular-season debut at home, and Bautista, who will wear jersey No. 23, joins the lineup after his promotion from Triple-A Gwinnett.
Bautista, 37, signed a minor-league contract with the Braves last month. He hit .400 (6-for-15) with a home run and four RBIs in the past five games and hit .246 across 12 minor-league games in the Braves' system at high Single-A Florida and for the Gwinett Stripers.
