As we enter the final week of August, the Atlanta Braves are sadly not in a position in the standings that they would have hoped back in early spring. The 2025 season can be linked to a number of negative storylines for the lackluster on field product. However, one of the easiest things to point to is the brutal injury luck that struck the starting rotation before the All-Star break.
Because of the early hole the Braves dug themselves, overcoming SO many injuries to their rotation felt like an impossible task. It's true the team took a nosedive in the standings once these injuries occurred, but it truthfully has never been all on the pitching staff.
