MLB.com's Mark Bowman shared news of the decision Saturday on X, formerly Twitter, after earlier noting that Atlanta was still weighing its Game 1 options. Dodd gets the assignment as Atlanta manages a rotation thinned by injuries and recent Wild Card usage. Chris Sale is lined up for Game 2, and Tyler Mahle is not available before Game 3.
"Dylan Dodd is starting for the Braves today."
