The Atlanta Braves held a players-only meeting on Tuesday prior to their home game against the Cincinnati Reds, per David O'Brien of The Athletic.
The 54-45 Braves sit second in the National League East after losing three straight and six of their last nine. The offense has scored just 23 runs over the past eight contests, including two shutouts and a 4-1 loss to Cincinnati on Monday.
Obviously, Atlanta had greater expectations going into this season after winning 104 games last year and retaining the core which led to that success, but injuries have significantly lowered the team's ceiling.
