ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The Atlanta Braves host the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday at CoolToday Park, and fans will be able to watch it live on Gray Media.
It’s a split squad day for Atlanta. Half of the Braves’ roster is in North Port — which is what will be broadcast live on Gray Media — while the other half will be playing at Lee Health Sports Complex to face the Minnesota Twins.
Nonetheless, right-hander Reynaldo López is set to face Rays starter Drew Rasmussen at 1:05 p.m. López allowed one hit over two scoreless innings in his spring debut — his first time on a major league mound since last March, when he made his lone start of the 2025 campaign before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery.
INJURY REPORT: Braves will begin season without starters Schwellenbach and Waldrep
The Braves’ bats have been on fire through eight games this spring, with several players recording an OPS of over 1.000. That includes outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, who is 6-for-8 with three home runs so far in spring training, further cementing his case as a key force in the Braves’ lineup heading into Opening Day.
