FOX will be making a mid-series substitution in the booth ahead of Game 3 of the NLDS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.
According to sports media insider Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, Kenny Albert will be replacing Joe Davis on play-by-play duties for Game 3 tonight. Per the report, Davis is feeling “under the weather” and has apparently lost his voice.
“Kenny Albert will be on the call for Game 3 and of the Dodgers vs. Braves on Fox as Joe Davis is under the weather, The Athletic has learned,” Marchand wrote. “I’m told Davis (who has lost his voice) is day-to-day.”
Davis has been FOX’s No. 1 play-by-play man since 2022 and has been with the network since 2014. He’s been doing postseason work for the Division Series and Championship Series since 2017.
For the Los Angeles Dodgers, he’s been doing their play-by-play on Spectrum SportsNet LA since 2016.

The Series So Far
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves are tied 1-1 in the 2026 NLDS after splitting the first two games at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles won Game 1, 5-3, behind a strong performance from Tarik Skubal, who allowed one run over six innings, and a two-run homer from Teoscar Hernández. The Dodgers carried a 5-1 lead into the ninth before Atlanta scored twice, but Evan Phillips closed out the victory. The game was played in extreme heat, with temperatures reaching 100 degrees at first pitch.
Atlanta responded with a 3-2 victory in Game 2, using a bullpen game to limit the Dodgers to six hits. Michael Harris II was the offensive catalyst, going 3-for-5 with a double, triple, RBI and run scored, while the Braves’ relievers combined for 6⅓ innings of one-run ball. Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy homered for Los Angeles, but the Dodgers went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The series now shifts to Atlanta for Game 3, featuring a highly anticipated pitching matchup between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale.
