The injury-plagued Atlanta Braves got even worse when Reynaldo Lopez left Sunday’s game due to discomfort in his right forearm. The Braves are hoping the ailment is mild, but tightness in the forearms can occasionally be a sign of something far worse.
Given how effectively Lopez has pitched this season and all of the other injuries the Braves have been dealing with, this injury is particularly frustrating for them. Ignore the numerous injuries sustained by their position players. Due to injuries, the Braves pitching staff is completely destroyed.
Since April, Spencer Strider has concluded his season. Right now, Max Fried is on the IL. Huascar Ynoa and Hurston Waldrep are examples of depth possibilities that are available. Grant Holmes, a pitcher with ten MLB appearances but no starts, will start Monday’s series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers because things have become so terrible.
Whether Lopez’s injury is mild or not, more depth is needed on this Braves club. The return of Spencer Schwellenbach may spare them from having to trade for a top starter, but they still need to add some depth. To close a transaction, they can turn to a group like the Cincinnati Reds.
