The injury-plagued Atlanta Braves are not having a great go at it recently. Atlanta has lost four consecutive games. It entered MLB games today with a 54-46 record and a whopping nine games behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East.
If so, the Braves would make a ton of sense as a landing spot for Eflin. He’s having somewhat of a down season, pitching to a 5-7 record with a 4.09 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Last season saw the veteran lead the American League in wins with 16 while posting a split of 3.50 and 1.02.
Chris Sale is currently heading things for the Braves. Acquired from the Boston Red Sox this past winter, Sale is pitching to a 13-3 record with a 2.70 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. Reynaldo López has also performed well (2.12 ERA, 1.19 WHIP).
With Fried’s injury concerns and Strider lost for the season, rotation help is needed in Atlanta. That’s for sure
