Braves' Drake Baldwin: Idle for series finale
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Baldwin had started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, but the left-handed-hitting backstop will head to the bench Sunday while southpaw David Peterson takes the hill for New York. With Baldwin out of the lineup, Sean Murphy will handle catching duties for Atlanta.

Braves' Aaron Bummer: Lands on injured list
Atlanta placed Bummer on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left shoulder inflammation.
The left-hander threw 1.1 scoreless innings Saturday against the Mets, which is presumably when he suffered the injury since that was his first appearance in nearly a week. Bummer will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 8, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Braves' Hunter Stratton: Rejoins big club
Atlanta recalled Stratton from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
The veteran right-hander was optioned to Gwinnett on Tuesday but will quickly return to the majors with Aaron Bummer (shoulder) landing on the injured list. Stratton has given up seven earned runs over 8.2 innings in the majors this year and should fill a low-leverage relief role.

Braves' Wander Suero: Back in majors
Atlanta recalled Suero from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
The right-hander was optioned to Gwinnett in late July and will make his return to the majors a month later. Suero has surrendered six earned runs over five frames in the majors this year but has a 1.39 ERA in 42 relief appearances at Triple-A.

Braves' Chris Sale: Expected to return next week
Sale (ribs) is expected to start for Atlanta in next week's series against Philadelphia, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
In his latest rehab start, Sale allowed one run on four hits and zero walks with five strikeouts across 4.2 innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. He threw 77 pitches, and the plan is for his next start to be with the big-league club during next weekend's four-game set with the Phillies. Sale last pitched with Atlanta on June 18, when we went down with a fractured left ribcage. On the season, the 36-year-old owns a 5-4 record, 2.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 114:26 K:BB across 89.1 innings.

Braves' Cal Quantrill: Exits with calf cramps
Quantrill was removed from Saturday's start against the Mets as a precaution due to calf cramps.
Quantrill yielded three runs on five hits and five walks across 4.2 innings before departing his Atlanta debut with calf cramps. He struck out three. The issue shouldn't have any effect on his next start. Quantrill was claimed off waivers from Miami after posting a 5.50 ERA in 24 starts for the Marlins. His five walks tied a season high and the outing marked his fourth straight start not completing five frames. Quantrill is lined up to make his next start in Philadelphia.

Braves' Nick Allen: Rare day off
Allen is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Allen's streak of 71 consecutive starts will end Saturday, as Vidal Brujan steps in to play shortstop and bat ninth. During that 71-game stretch, Allen slashed .211/.277/.240 with six doubles, 19 runs scored and nine RBI.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Mops up in Friday's loss
Fedde worked in long relief during Friday's 12-7 loss to the Mets, covering 4.1 innings and striking out one batter while allowing six earned runs on 11 hits and two walks.
After being acquired from the Cardinals on July 27, Fedde stepped into the Atlanta rotation but fared poorly over his four starts with the club, netting a 7.11 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB in 19 innings. With Atlanta claiming Cal Quantrill off waivers from Miami on Thursday and inserting him into the rotation Saturday, Fedde was moved to the bullpen for the weekend series and was put to work Friday after starter Joey Wentz was chased from the game midway through the fourth inning. Though he spared the rest of the bullpen from overuse, Fedde was knocked around during his 93-pitch appearance and is unlikely to see opportunities in high-leverage spots anytime soon.

Braves' Cal Quantrill: Making team debut Saturday
Quantrill is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at Truist Park, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Erick Fedde had been in line to start this weekend, but he ended up getting moved to the bullpen to open up a rotation spot for Quantrill, whom Atlanta claimed off waivers from Miami on Thursday. Before getting cut by the Marlins, Quantrill had endured a disappointing 2025 campaign, posting a 5.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 82:30 K:BB in 109.2 innings. An impending free agent this winter, Quantrill will look to pitch well over the final five weeks of the season with the hope of earning a rotation spot with Atlanta or another club heading into 2026.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Clubs 15th homer
Acuna went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Mets.
He took rookie Nolan McLean deep for a solo shot to lead off the fourth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth. Acuna has 15 long balls in only 62 games this season, a 39-homer pace over a full campaign, and in seven contests since returning from a calf strain he's batting .296 (8-for-27) with one double, one home run, one steal, four RBI and five runs.

Braves' Joey Wentz: Poor showing in fourth loss
Wentz (4-4) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
It was one of the worst outings of the year for Wentz, who tied a season high in runs allowed and set a season worst in hits allowed. The 3.1 innings were also the left-hander's fewest in a start this season. With Chris Sale (ribs) on a rehab assignment, Wentz could soon revert back to the bullpen. Wentz has a 3.94 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB over 38 frames for Atlanta, and his next appearance tentatively lines up to come on the road against the division-rival Marlins.

Braves' Jurickson Profar: Drives in four in three-hit game
Profar went 3-for-4 with a double, four RBI and a run scored in Friday's 12-7 loss to the Mets.
It was the third three-hit game of the season by Profar, who fell one RBI short of his season high. The journeyman switch hitter has been on fire since the start of August, slashing .303/.442/.645 with 11 extra-base hits, 21 RBI and four stolen bases across his last 95 plate appearances. Profar has also hit safely in 14 of his 20 outings this month as Atlanta's leadoff batter.

Braves' Jake Fraley: Yet to make Atlanta debut
Fraley (knee) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
Fraley tweaked his right knee Saturday while playing for the Reds and was designated for assignment Sunday. Atlanta picked up the veteran outfielder off waivers Tuesday, but Fraley has yet to debut. Given Atlanta has an established outfield trio of Jurickson Profar, Michael Harris and Ronald Acuna, Fraley should be considered unlikely to receive regular playing time when healthy.

Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Set as starter at hot corner
Alvarez will be Atlanta's starting third baseman for the rest of the season after Austin Riley (abdomen) underwent season-ending surgery, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
While manager Brian Snitker suggested that in the long run Alvarez might be better suited to a utility role, the 22-year-old will get a chance to change that impression over the final month-plus of the season. Through 91 plate appearances in the majors this year, Alvarez is slashing .247/.330/.309 with zero homers or steals, but he did hit 10 home runs and steal 10 bags with an .861 OPS over 64 Triple-A contests in 2024.
