The Braves (45-47) are trying to rebound after dropping two of three to the Rays to open the homestand. The Braves will start Kyle Muller Tuesday. They’ll start Touki Toussaint in Game 1 Wednesday and Charlie Morton in Game 2. Padres ace Yu Darvish was scheduled to start Monday, but the Padres haven’t announced their pitching plans for the series.
