Atlanta Braves: Ian Anderson will meet his first challenge this season

The Atlanta Braves currently have a few openings in its big league starting rotation, thanks to an unfortunate and ill-timed shoulder strain to the left arm of newcomer Cole Hamels.

With no shortage in potential candidates for those final two spots, it would be a bit far-fetched to expect the team to turn to its top pitching prospect so soon, given Ian Anderson is fresh off just 24.2 innings at the Triple-A level in 2019.

For now, Sean Newcomb is the the frontrunner for at least one of those two open spots.
