Olivera (elbow) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.

Analysis:

Olivera will sit out his third game in a row while contending with the sore elbow. With the Braves turning their focus to 2016, it seems likely that Olivera will sit out the second game of the doubleheader as well. The Cuban import is batting .250 with two homers and 11 RBI over 76 at-bats with Atlanta.
