ATLANTA, GA - AUGUST 16: Mauricio Dubon (14) of the Atlanta Braves chills in the dugout during his off day during the Sunday afternoon MLB game between the Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday August 16, 2026 at Truist Park in Atlanta, GA.

The Braves are rocking with Sean Murphy at catcher and Mauricio Dubon at short against the righty Matthews for the Twins. I think they should do this more, with Jim Jarvis’ bat turning back into a pumpkin and Murphy in need of live plate appearances.
