The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to face the Atlanta Braves Saturday at Truist Park, but the game will likely start late due to rainy weather.

The contest was originally supposed to begin at 4:10 p.m. PST, but manager Dave Roberts said the weather will likely push back the game to a 6:30/7:00 p.m PST start.
Roberts revealed both teams are “prepared to hunker down” and play Saturday, since neither squad wants to split a doubleheader Sunday. It is currently not raining in Atlanta.
The Dodgers lineup will not have Tommy Edman as the utility man was placed on the injured list with right ankle inflammation. Edman has not played since Tuesday’s win over the Miami Marlins.
Typically, Miguel Rojas or Kiké Hernández will fill in at second. However, Chris Taylor will play at second base for Saturday’s contest.
Roki Sasaki will be on the mound for the Dodgers Saturday, looking to record the first win of his MLB career.
