The Atlanta Braves return to Truist Park Tuesday where they will begin their final homestand of the regular season with a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs. The Braves took three of four in Washington over the weekend and became the first team in the majors to reach the 100 win mark. Atlanta’s magic number to clinch home field advantage throughout the postseason is down to three.
The news isn’t all good for the Braves though as they saw Max Fried and Charlie Morton hit the injured list over the last week. Fried pitched well in his last start, but again was bothered by a blister on his index finger.
