Gomes will start in right field and bat seventh Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Analysis:

Wednesday marks Gomes' third start in the Braves' last fives games against right-handed pitchers. Todd Cunningham assumed the larger end of the platoon in left upon Kelly Johnson's placement on the DL, and he has fared well (10-for-28 with three doubles), but manager Fredi Gonzalez seems intent on giving Gomes more opportunities against right-handers.
