Braves' Abraham Almonte: Sits again Friday

Almonte is not in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

The 31-year-old started Atlanta's first two games after having his contract selected Monday, but Ehire Adrianza is now receiving his third straight start in left field. Almonte is 1-for-7 with a double, three walks and a run through four games, and he'll likely continue splitting time in left with Adrianza in the absence of Marcell Ozuna (fingers).
