The Braves rolled out their updated lineup, with a slight change, for Sunday's finale in Arizona.

Josh Donaldson, who’s played in every game since May 5, got the day off. Johan Camargo started at third and hit fifth. Nick Markakis was moved into cleanup in Donaldson’s absence.

Camargo has gotten off to a slow start, hitting .229 in inconsistent playing time as the utilityman. He hit his first career pinch-hit homer in Saturday's win.

Tyler Flowers was behind the plate after Brian McCann handled catching duties Saturday. The Braves started lefty Max Fried against Diamondbacks righty Zack Godley, who returned to the rotation after being demoted to the bullpen April 30.
