Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will bat leadoff on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. Meanwhile, shortstop Geraldo Perdomo drops to the nine-hole. Carroll has mostly been hitting near the top of Arizona's batting order, so the switch shouldn't affect him all that much. The 22-year-old has been excellent across […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. In Wednesday's Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) is right back in right field and in his customary leadoff spot on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie right-hander Quinn Priester after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Tuesday's contest.
