The Atlanta Braves' 2025 season is slipping away. After a 0-7 start, they bounced back to .500. But in June, they are 2-8 and falling down the National League standings. Even the returns of Ronald Acuña Jr and Spencer Strider could not lift this club to contention. They cannot let a year of their core's prime continue to slip without adding some key players. The Braves must respond to this poor start by calling up prospect Carlos Rodriguez.
Rodriguez elected free agency in 2024 after six years in the Milwaukee Brewers' system.
