Wednesday’s game: vs. Marlins

By Carroll Rogers Walton

Sept 1, 2015

Where: Turner Field

When: 12:10 p.m.

TV; radio: SPSO; 680, 93.7, 106.7

Probable starting pitchers: TBA vs. LH Adam Conley (2-1, 4.96 ERA)

What's new: Mike Foltynewicz's illness forced Shelby Miller to pitch a day early in Monday's spot and Manny Banuelos into Tuesday's spot against the Marlins. That likely leaves a bullpen approach for the series finale against the Marlins, perhaps with somebody like Edwin Jackson starting it off and Sugar Ray Marimon getting extended innings. It also means extra innings for an already taxed Braves bullpen. The club's five September call-ups — Hector Olivera, Brandon Cunniff, Daniel Castro, Dan Burawa and Manny Banuelos — bring the number of players used this season for the Braves to 56, well past their franchise record of 50 used in 2007.
