Braves' Mike Yastrzemski moves up to sixth in lineup against Cardinals

Mike Yastrzemski of the Atlanta Braves is set to bat sixth as the Braves open a series against the St. Louis Cardinals on July 10, 2026. Yastrzemski's move follows a grand slam against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a previous game, marking a significant improvement in his performance this month. His position in the lineup has been influenced by the struggles of Austin Riley and Dominic Smith. The Braves are using their 93rd lineup configuration in 76 games this season. The Cardinals have not announced their lineup prior to the game, which will feature Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta.
