The Braves havepromoted right-hander Hurston Waldrepfrom the minors and will have him take over on the mound with one out in the bottom of the first inning. Waldrep had been scheduled to start on Sunday for Class AAA Gwinnett.

Manager Terry Francona said veteran reliever Brent Suter will take over when the Reds take the field in the top of the second. The Speedway Classic was set to start at 7:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, but rain began falling during pregame activities and the tarp was unrolled at 7:19 p.m. It remained there until skies cleared around 8:50 p.m. The game eventually started at 9:40 p.m. ET, but since Braves starting pitcherSpencer Striderhad already gone through his pregame warmup routine, the team decided to scratch him in favor of reliever Austin Cox. The Reds stuck with their original starter, Tennessee nativeChase Burns, who retired the Braves in order in the top of the first.
