Well just as Drake Baldwin seemed to be nearing his return, the Braves will now be without Ronald Acuna for at least 10 days, with a hamstring strain. The Braves just can’t seem to get all of their stars healthy and playing well together at once, even as they are performing extremely well this season. It does seem like Ronald’s hamstring strain is fairly mild, so hopefully it will be a short absence and we can witness a fully healthy Braves’ offense in July. On the pitching side, the Braves are finally
getting a look at veteran James Karinchak, who had an impressive spring and an impressive start to the season in the minors, as well as another look at JR Ritchie. While my preference would be to move Grant Holmes to the bullpen, the Braves may not yet trust Ritchie enough to hand the keys to a rotation spot until Hurston Waldrep or AJ Smith-Shawver can hopefully return successfully from their respective surgeries to quality performance.
