On Thursday night, the series finale against the Miami Marlins paused for one hour and 24 minutes. Rain continued to come down even after play resumed, but it never had to pause again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9i\">Currently, Tyler Mahle is scheduled to start for the Braves in what would be his team debut. He was acquired by the team ahead of the trade deadline. Max Fried, who was part of the Braves organization from his debut in 2017 until 2024, is scheduled to face his former team for the first time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9l\">It\u2019s unclear if either pitcher will still get to pitch on Friday. It would depend where they were in their warm ups.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9o\">More information will be passed along when it comes about.
