The Daily Chop: Cristian Pache’s opportunity, Chris Martin activated, A.J. Minter and more

Barring something unexpected, Cristian Pache will make his debut in Friday’s series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. How long Pache will remain in the big leagues and what his role will be will likely depend on how he does over the next couple of weeks. That was one of the questions that Mark Bowman answers in his weekly mailbag at MLB.com.

The Braves had a crowded outfield situation before Pache was added to the roster. Nick Markakis was placed on the Covid list Wednesday and Ronald Acuña Jr. has been on the 10-day list since last weekend due to a sore wrist.
