Coming off of two straight losses, the Atlanta Braves will try to right the ship Thursday and salvage a split in their series against the Washington Nationals. Atlanta won the opener on Monday 5-3 but dropped the next two, falling 11-6 on Tuesday and 5-3 Wednesday night. The Braves are now 25-28 on the season and 4.5 games back in the NL East standings.
Atlanta will juggle their rotation pushing Ian Anderson back to Friday’s series opener against the Dodgers and will call up Tucker Davidson to start Thursday’s game against Washington.
