The Atlanta Braves made a rotation adjustment this week, and according to beat writer David O’Brien, the move could be exactly what Spencer Strider needs. By inserting Cal Quantrill into the pitching staff, Atlanta is reshaping its short-term plans to give its ace room to recover and prepare for the future. This reshuffle affects not only the Braves rotation but also their upcoming series with the New York Mets, which begins Friday after the club’s scheduled day off on Thursday.
O’Brien highlighted the move on X (formerly known as Twitter) where he noted that Quantrill would be joining Joey Wentz and Bryce Elder during this weekend's three-game set against New York.
