2K24: Atlanta Braves

If he goes on DL, do they bring up Acuna?

Doubtful. Acuna will now be up once he gets hot. If he were hitting .350 in AAA, he would no longer be in AAA. One of Tucker/Adams/Bourjus would be DFA'd for Acuna. Carlos Franco maybe? (Their AAA first baseman; he's not particularly relevant to anything, typical minor league veteran type, I think.)

If he goes on DL, do they bring up Acuna?

I can't imagine that they would. I think that decision is entirely based on Acuna. When they deem that he is ready it won't take an injury to prompt his promotion.

[cavebird]

Minor miracle if true. Hit him in the exact same spot, and his reaction indicated that he thought it was broken.

Apparently, miracles can come true. Per Mark Bowman (Braves beat writer for mlb), tests confirm that the wrist is not broken, and Freddie is already trying to talk his way into tonight's lineup.

Wow, so much better than I anticipated.

Broken bones heal stronger than original.

Mike Soroka will be getting the call if Teheran can't go on Wednesday. In any case, Soroka is the next in line, so if he's available in your league, grab him.

I think Gohara is next in line, as soon as he returns fully from his injury. I am fairly certain he would have gotten this call over Soroka if he was ready.

Perhaps, but Soroka has been mowing them down at AAA.

He sure has. But if we're talking about who is next to get a shot to stick in the Atlanta rotation, I'd strongly suspect that Gohara is ahead of Soroka in line. This isn't to say that Soroka isn't a good get, he is.

Jim Bowden seems to think Soroka is the choice and once he’s up, he’s here to stay. Not saying you’re wrong, but I’d jump on Soroka if he’s available.

Soroka's last start was skipped in case he is needed this week.

[cavebird]

Yes, Soroka's start was skipped, and he'll be up for Teheran if necessary. There is also the fifth starter spot available. Gohara has one or two more AAA starts scheduled; he is expected to take that spot afterwards. No reason they can't both be up. Wisler/Anibal Sanchez is not blocking anyone, and Teheran looked like something was seriously wrong Friday night.

Will Flowers take back his primary catching duties, or will he be in more of a time split or back up role to Suzuki?

I'm kind of assuming they'll go back to 50-50ish with a slight lean towards whoever is hitting better at the time. It worked last year.
