Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (illness) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies due to a stomach bug. d'Arnaud was also out of the lineup on Tuesday.

Atlanta Braves rookie outfielder Michael Harris II (foot) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Mekhi Becton Slowly Progressing

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton isn't handling the heat well in training camp practices, but the Jets should be happy with their right tackle's progression, especially considering where he was in the spring and at the start of training camp.
