11 Ender Inciarte CF

Inciarte is starting in center field and batting seventh Sunday night against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Inciarte has batted leadoff against right-handers to begin the season but Ozzie Albies will get a chance to do so Sunday. Braves manager Brian Snitker indicated it could be a long-term arraignment with Albies' improved early-season numbers against righties. Inciarte's .192/.192/.423 slash line through 26 plate appearances has done little to illustrate he's the better option at the top of the order.

Inciarte is not in the lineup Saturday against lefty Jason Vargas and the Mets.

All three of Inciarte's days off this season have come against lefties, but he's also started against two southpaws, so he's not quite in a true platoon role. Johan Camargo enters the lineup in left field, pushing Ronald Acuna to center.

Inciarte is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Both of Inciarte's days off this year have come against lefties, with Steven Matz on the mound Thursday. He's also started against two lefties, however, so he's not at risk of a true platoon role. Ronald Acuna slides over to center field in his absence, with Johan Camargo starting in left.

Inciarte will start in center field and hit seventh Sunday against the Marlins, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Inciarte sat out the Braves' previous matchup against a lefty starter (the Cubs' Jon Lester) on Wednesday, but he'll draw back into the starting nine in the series finale with southpaw Caleb Smith on the mound. However, Inciarte will surrender his usual spot atop the lineup to the switch-hitting Ozzie Albies in what amounts to a platoon of the leadoff role.

Inciarte is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Inciarte will head to the bench for the first time all season, opening up a spot in the outfield for Johan Camargo to pick up a start. The speedy outfielder is 2-for-16 with a homer and a stolen base through four games this season.
