Braves to wear nicknames on jerseys this weekend

The Braves will have an Andrew on the field this weekend but he won’t be in center field, he’ll be at first base.

The Braves will wear colorful nickname jerseys Friday, Saturday and Sunday when they play the Marlins in Miami as part of Major League baseball’s Players Weekend. The series begins Thursday night.

Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman will have ‘ANDREW’ as his nickname on his jersey, in honor of one of his brothers.

Ronald Acuna will be "SABANERO SOY"

Ender Inciarte is "GAME ENDER"

Nick Markakis is "TTT"

Juio Teheran is "EL CABALLO DE OLAYA"

Tyler Flowers is: "MMBB"

Max Fried is "MAXIMUS"

Luke Jackson is "SKYWALKER"

Sean Newcomb is “NEWK"

Dansby Swanson is "DANS"
