2K24: Atlanta Braves

[cavebird]

Kyle Wright has hit 4 batters in 4 innings.

And Ender Inciarte pulled up running to 3rd, looked like a pulled hammy.

Assuming Inciarte hits the IL with this, where do the Braves go? Riley can play left, and Acuna can shift to center, but you can't put noodle-arm Ozuna in right. Heredia, who is already up, was the last OF on the 40-man, but Soroka can probably go to the 60-day IL at this point. Is it Michael Harris or Drew Waters time?

Braves place OF Ender Inciarte on the 10-day IL with a strained left hamstring.

Braves place RP Sean Newcomb on the 10-day IL. No reason given.

[Judge Jude]

we have a first-place owner with current ILs for Fried, Smyly, Lamet, Lorenzen, KMarte, CWalker, and Wong (with LThomas just demoted).

[cavebird]

Sean Kazmar, Jr., recalled by the Braves for his first major league action since 2008. If he gets in a game (and he'll likely be the first pinch hitter today), it will be the longest time between appearances since 1950--longer than the breaks before the promotional appearances of Minoso and Satchel Paige.

Maybe he would like to trade with a rebuilder?

[Judge Jude]

I see what you did there...

[cavebird]

Now Acuna out injured and Swanson hurting after a HBP. The Braves might now have any of their real players left soon. This is getting ugly.

If they could keep playing the Cubs, they might not need any real players.

Did they give a report on Acuna? Looked like a minor strain to me, but you can never tell...

Lower abdominal muscle pain. I am sure they won't know what it really is until they run the scans and tests. Not really clear. The way there seemed to be an issue with his belt buckle made me worry he did something serious like rupture his spleen landing on the buckle wrong, but apparently they don't think that is it.

It's been a bad week for player injuries and COVID issues.

[revo]

Travis d’Arnaud out until at least late July with a thumb sprain.

[FBP]

Ligament tear. Most of season

[revo]

Mike Soroka has continued soreness and needs exploratory surgery on his heel, so he's out until July now, and it's looking like a lost season for him.

[madducks]

Maybe Charlie Morton was right to consider retirement.

[Sour Masher]

Maybe Charlie Morton was right to consider retirement.

I think he turns it around to a degree. He has been very unlucky to this point.
