Injuries are a part of baseball and that is particularly true when it comes to the modern game. As long as quick-twitch athleticism, pitch velocity, and pitch spin are effective, players are going to get hurt at a higher rate than we are used to seeing. However, the Atlanta Braves seem to be dealing with even more than their fair share of injuries with Grant Holmes just the latest victim.
The Braves' pitching staff was already ravaged by injuries. Most of the Braves' Opening Day rotation was on the shelf and only Chris Sale's rib injury could really be considered a fluke injury.
