As expected, the Braves called up center fielder Mallex Smith and he will bat leadoff in Monday night's series opener against the Nationals in Washington.
The 22-year-old Smith will replace Ender Inciarte, who is on the 15-day disabled list due to a left hamstring strain.
The game is scheduled to start at 7:05 and will be televised by Fox Sports South.
The Braves are 0-5. The Nationals are 3-1.
