Mookie Betts gets the start at shortstop as Miguel Rojas continues to deal with a neck issue. In 8 games at short, Mookie has been really, really good. The biggest absence from the lineup is third baseman Max Muncy who is mired in a 3-32 stretch to open June. He looked exceptionally frustrated on Sunday in Philadelphia and may just be getting a mental reset night off. More to come on this. Chris Taylor starts at 3B
Jason Heyward plays right and moves up to clean up in the lineup, behind Mookie, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith. James Outman starts in center vs the RHP.
