ESPN2 will be televising the game, for those interested.
From MLB.com:
On Monday night in Atlanta, all eyes will be on Strasburg to see how he responds from his first taste of adversity in the big leagues.
They could also fall on the Braves' rookie phenom, Jason Heyward, if his injured thumb allows.
Heyward, an outfielder who leads Major League rookies in RBIs and walks, and is tied for the top spot in home runs, has not batted since Friday because of a sore left thumb. He entered Saturday's game against the Tigers as a defensive substitution and sat for the entirety of Sunday's game.
Heyward said that while he would love to face Strasburg, his health is all that matters to him. He will undergo a MRI on the injured digit prior to Monday's game.
"It would be fun, and it would be awesome," Heyward said. "But that would be something, to go out there and play and then not be ready to go back out there and play again. I don't see this like I'm sitting out because of an injury.
"I look at it like I'm sitting out to take care of it now, so that I don't have to worry about it later."
