The World Baseball Classic begins tonight, and MLB teams are using today and tomorrow for exhibition games against national teams. The Braves face Team Colombia this afternoon in a tune-up contest. Colombia's roster includes a mix of major leaguers, prospects, and non-affiliated players, featuring MLB pitchers like Jose Quintana and former Braves pitcher Julio Teheran. Luis Patiño, a former Padres prospect released due to elbow injuries, is scheduled to start for Colombia. The Braves will start Elieser Hernandez with mostly regular lineup players, though Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies are unavailable due to WBC commitments.
