The Braves (12-31) return to Turner Field this week for 10 games against the Brewers, Marlins and Giants.
It will be interim manager Brian Snitker's first games in Atlanta, and the team's first since Fredi Gonzalez was fired last week in Pittsburgh.
This week's big giveaway is the "Chipper rescues Freddie on an ATV" bobblehead, set for Saturday's 4 p.m. game against Miami.
Also, former Braves pitcher Denny Neagle will participate in a water safety demonstration in Monument Grove before Saturday's game to show appreciation for CPR-trained lifeguards.
Starting two hours before Sunday's game (5:05 p.m. vs Miami Marlins), fans can get an autograph from former Braves Neagle, Rafael Furcal, Jim Nash and Darrel Chaney in the Fan Plaza.
Following the game, country music star Chris Stapleton will kick off the Braves' Summer Concert Series with a show from the infield.
On the Memorial Day holiday (1:10 p.m. vs. San Fransisco Giants), the Braves will celebrate military personnel with a pregame ceremony. The teams will be wearing special uniforms with lettering and numbering on jerseys and a special cap in a woodland camouflage design used by the U.S. Marine Corps.
