ATLANTA (AP) --- The game between the San Diego Padres and Atlanta Braves on
Saturday night was postponed by rain and lightning.
The teams will play a split doubleheader on Monday with a 6:20 p.m. game added
to the previously scheduled 12:20 p.m. game.
Officials announced about five minutes before the scheduled first pitch that
the start of the game was being delayed by inclement weather in the area.
The four-game series will continue on Sunday night.
Right-hander Yu Darvish had been scheduled to start for San Diego on Saturday
night, but has been pushed back to Sunday.
The Padres planned to reinstate right-hander Joe Musgrove (right elbow
inflammation) from the 15-day injured list for that game. Musgrove could
instead move to one of Monday's games.
The Braves have shifted Saturday night's planned starter, right-hander Bryce
Elder, to Sunday night. Right-hander Reynaldo Lpez, who had been scheduled for
Sunday night, is expected to move back one day to start one game in Monday's
doubleheader.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Braves: RHP Pierce Johnson (right elbow inflammation) was reinstated from the
injured list. RHP Jackson Stephens was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. ... C
Travis d'Arnaud (head contusion) was available in an emergency situation if
Saturday night's game had been played. Manager Brian Snitker says he hopes to
rest d'Arnaud again Sunday. ... 3B Austin Riley (left side inflammation) was to
miss his fifth straight game but said, "I feel like I'm slowly but surely
getting there. ... I'm still feeling it in certain areas with certain
movements." Riley still hasn't taken batting practice.
