Both teams can bring in a 27th man who can only be used in the later, regularly scheduled game.
Possible scenario:
Anthony Molina gets 2-3 innings of the first game and is optioned in favor of Carlos Carrasco for game 2. Someone like Hunter Stratton can be used as the 27th man.
Tonight’s game against the San Francisco Giants has been suspended due to inclement weather. We will resume the game tomorrow, Wednesday, June 17, at 2 PM ET with the Braves batting in the bottom of the 2nd inning.
All ticket holders from tonight’s suspended game will be admitted to the 2 PM ET game tomorrow. Gates will open at 1:30 PM ET.
Tomorrow night‘s regularly scheduled game will take place at 7:15 PM ET. Gates will open approximately one hour after the conclusion of the suspended game.
A separate ticket will be required for both games.

@MinSub4 Drue Hackenberg is scheduled for Gwinnett but there aren’t any 40-man SP options at that level. Hayden Harris, Daysbel Hernández, Rolddy Muñoz, Hunter Stratton, and Victor Mederos are the only options.
I imagine that Anthony Molina will be optioned back to Gwinnett on Monday (which will be his third time this season) and Carlos Carrasco will be added back to the Braves roster on Tuesday.
Braves manager Walt Weiss says today there is “nothing definitive yet” on Spencer Strider; Strider will next go be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister this week
The Tigers' postseason chances have dropped to 2.4%, per @baseball_ref.
Scott Harris has made "sell" trades with the following clubs since arriving to Detroit:
LAD, ATL, PHI, SFG, TEX.
Of note: The Braves have multiple starters on the IL.

Hurston Waldrep breezed through the first three innings of his rehab start w/Double-A Columbus before giving up four runs in the 4th and leaving after throwing 53 pitches (33 strikes).
It’s likely that he gets at least two more rehab starts before coming back up to the big club.
