The Atlanta Braves have been performing in underwhelming fashion as they look to stay relevant in the NL Wildcard picture.
With a 34-40 record, the Braves are 11 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.
Their season has been drama-filled, with the suspension of All-Star outfielder Jurickson Profar, Ronald Acuna Jr. returning from his ACL tear, and rumors have swirled on whether or not manager Brian Snitker needs to be fired.
Before Atlanta's second game of the series against the Miami Marlins, it was announced that 2024 Cy Young award-winning pitcher Chris Sale has been placed on the 15-day injured list.
