A team as talented as the Atlanta Braves is built to overcome injuries to their star players. Atlanta won the 2021 World Series without Ronald Acuna Jr. The Braves plan to compete for a title again this season and will have to do it without ace Spencer Strider.
The loss of Strider put a bit of a burden on Atlanta's rotation, but Max Fried's return to form is a welcome sight for the Braves. Fried tossed six scoreless innings in his start on Monday but did not get the win after the Seattle Mariners won in the game's last at-bats.
