The Atlanta Braves need a little bit of help. With their revered hitting lineup not playing up their previous form, the team needs some help holding leads and preventing runs. That means that their pitching will likely need to step up. For the most part, it’s been pretty good: Max Fried and Chris Sale have been excellent lately, while Charlie Morton and Reynaldo Lopez are solid pieces, with Lopez in particular being a revelation.
That being said, the Braves might be thinking of adding another arm to their rotation. Spencer Strider’s season-ending injury left a bit of a hole in their rotation. Bryce Elder was called up, and he’s been fine. However, they might prefer a more veteran presence in that role.
