Jake Odorizzi - Debuting Saturday vs. Mets Odorizzi, whom Atlanta acquired from the Astros on Monday, will make his team debut Saturday as a starter in one of the doubleheader games versus the Mets, Justin Toscano of The At...
Impact The upcoming twin bill will be the first of two doubleheaders on consecutive Saturdays for Atlanta, so expect the team to maintain a six-man rotation for at least the next two weeks. After that, manager Brian Snitker and his staff will likely assess where his pitching staff stands from a health and performance standpoint before determining whether to move back to a five-man rotation or keep the six-man setup in place. If all of Atlanta's other starters remain healthy following the two doubleheaders and Snitker's preference is to go with a five-man rotation, Odorizzi and Ian Anderson would seemingly be the pitchers most at risk of losing out on a starting spot. Over his 12 starts with Houston this season spanning 60 innings, Odorizzi turned in a respectable 3.75 ERA and 1.15 WHIP.

Jay Jackson - Dispatched to minors Atlanta optioned Jackson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Impact Jackson's stay on the 26-man active roster lasted less than 24 hours, as he was sent back to Gwinnett immediately after he was recalled ahead of Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. He went unused out of the bullpen in the loss and is still waiting to make his 2022 debut with Atlanta.

Castellanos HR after overturned call, Phils beat Braves 3-1

Jay Jackson - Called up for matinee Atlanta recalled Jackson from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact He'll be joining the big-league bullpen for the first time this season after opening the campaign on the 60-day injured list before being optioned to Gwinnett on July 2 when he was activated. Jackson posted a 1.80 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 10 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A prior to his promotion.

William Contreras - Playing time picking up Contreras will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Contreras will be making his fourth consecutive start Wednesday, though it comes with the caveat that Travis d'Arnaud isn't available while he recovers from a stomach bug. Even so, Contreras may have already supplanted d'Arnaud as Atlanta's preferred option behind the plate, given their wide gap in performance over the past month. Since July 1, Contreras has supplied an .861 OPS, while d'Arnaud owns a .473 mark over that stretch.

Orlando Arcia - Blasts homer in win Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact Arcia's sixth home run of the season came in the fifth inning, when he took reliever Corey Knebel deep with two outs and a runner on base. With Atlanta cutting bait on the Robinson Cano experiment and not adding further reinforcement in the middle infield other than utility man Ehire Adrianza ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Arcia looks poised to serve as the team's everyday second baseman until Ozzie Albies (foot) is ready to return from the injured list later in the season. Arcia will pick up his fifth consecutive start in Wednesday's series finale and will bat eighth.

Eddie Rosario - Plates five runs Rosario went 3-for-5 with a double, five RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact The five RBI were a season-high total for Rosario and matched his output from his previous 13 contests combined. Though he's turned in an unremarkable .671 OPS since coming off the 60-day injured list in early July, Rosario still looks like he'll hold down a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield even after Atlanta acquired Robbie Grossman prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. Rosario will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale.
AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dansby Swanson - Reaches base four times in rout Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact Swanson extended his hitting streak to six games Tuesday and is now slashing an impressive .330/.384/.505 since May 15. He'll be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, manning shortstop and batting second.
AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Travis d'Arnaud - Out with stomach illness D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to a stomach bug, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Since William Contreras was behind the plate for all nine innings of Tuesday's 13-1 win, Atlanta was likely planning on resting him for the day game after a night game, but he'll have to catch a second straight contest with d'Arnaud feeling under the weather. With a .190 average since the beginning of July, d'Arnaud was already beginning to lose out on playing time to Contreras, and the bout with the stomach bug certainly won't help his case for re-establishing himself as Atlanta's clear-cut No. 1 backstop.
AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Harris II - Scratched from Wednesday's lineup Harris was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Phillies due to right foot soreness.
Impact Harris was hit by a pitch Tuesday against Philadelphia and will be held out of the lineup a day later. He should be considered day-to-day for now, while Guillermo Heredia will take his place in center field and bat ninth.

Marcell Ozuna - Homers, doubles in win Ozuna went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, three runs scored and two RBI in a 13-1 pounding of Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Impact Ozuna doubled and scored in the fourth, singled and scored in the fifth and hit a solo shot in the seventh. After a difficult July in which he produced a .195/.247/.368 line, the veteran got off to a great start to August on Tuesday. It marked the fourth time this season that he had three hits in a game and just the second time since April 12. He's now hit seventh in Atlanta's order seven times in his last 12 starts.
