Mandatory Credit: Erik Williams-Imagn Images | Erik Williams-Imagn Images The Dodgers and Atlanta Braves continue their weekend series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, with a start time an hour earlier than Friday night. Rather than make one more rehab start for Ontario on Saturday, Blake Snell will instead be activated off the injured list to start against the Braves at Dodger Stadium, on his bobblehead night no less. Spencer Strider is on the mound for Atlanta, making his second start since returning from the injured list after missing the first five-plus weeks of the season with a left oblique strain. He struck out six last Sunday at Coors Field but also allowed three runs and walked five in his 3 1/3 innings. The Dodgers are 2-0 when wearing their city connect uniforms, beating the Texas Rangers 6-3 on April 11 and winning 12-4 over the Chicago Cubs on April 25.
