Jeff Francoeur’s broadcasting season won’t end when the playoffs begin.

Francoeur, in his first year as lead analyst on the Fox Sports South/Southeast telecasts of Braves games, will be part of TBS' national broadcasts of the National League playoffs. He'll work the NL wild-card game and one of the NL Division Series, a TBS spokesperson confirmed.

TBS will announce broadcaster pairings and assignments, including which NLDS Francoeur will work, after the playoff field is fully set.

Francoeur,  a former outfielder with the Braves and seven other teams, completed a 12-year major-league playing career in 2016. He served as an analyst  on nine Braves telecasts in 2017 and 25 in 2018 before upping his workload to about 100 telecasts this season.

Fox Sports South/Southeast won’t televise Braves games during the playoffs, but plans to broadcast a postgame show at the conclusion of each game.
