Atlanta Braves news and notes from Thursday. Hurricane Helene has led to a tough schedule for the Atlanta Braves, and it begins tonight with a three-game set against the Kansas City Royals. The Braves are coming off of two unexpected off days, where Chris Sale was slated to start on Wednesday, followed by Max Fried on Thursday.
Instead, the Braves will send out Max Fried tonight against the Royals, in hopes of setting up Chris Sale for what could be an elimination game next week. There are plenty of possible scenarios as we head into the final stretch, but the decision to save Sale could be what keeps Atlanta’s season alive.
The series gets underway tonight at 7:20 ET.
More Braves News:
The Arizona Fall League is ramping up shortly, and eight Braves minor leaguers are scheduled to play. Catcher Drake Baldwin headlines the list.
Ronald Acuña Jr. caught up with the media to provide an update on his torn ACL and answered a few questions about Shohei Ohtani’s 50-50 season.
MLB News:
After spending the last two years in Japan, former big leaguer Marwin González has announced his retirement. He logged 1,139 major league games.
The Wander Franco saga continues as the shortstop will stand trial.
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw is still hoping to pitch in the playoffs, although he has missed the last month with bone spurs in his left big toe.
The Athletics drew a sellout crowd for their final game in Oakland.
