Thursday night's bout between the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins marked a week since manager Walt Weiss made the move to give Austin Riley the night off.
In the press conference immediately following the MLB Trade Deadline, Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations Alex Anthopoulos stated that outside of Tarik Skubal, there was only one other starting pitcher who they viewed as an “impact starter” at this year’s trade deadline.
The Braves don’t really know what they want to do at shortstop. It’s been that way for almost a half-decade, but the good news right now is that at least they have options.
There might be some debate about the top overall prospect in the Braves system, but there’s none when it comes to the top pitching prospect. That title has belonged to Cam Caminiti since the start of the season, and with Didier Fuentes and JR Ritchie graduating from prospect status, there isn’t even a close second anymore.

The MLB Draft doesn’t get the same attention as the NFL Draft…or the NBA Draft…or even the NHL Draft. There’s the element of a stay in a farm system, the general lack of immediate impact for MLB draft picks, and the fact that it’s tougher for one MLB player to turn a franchise’s fortunes around.
The Atlanta Braves have won their eighth straight after Thursday’s 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins.

The Atlanta Braves will give Chris Sale an extra day of rest before his next outing, with manager Walt Weiss adjusting the club's rotation ahead of a marquee weekend series against the New York Yankees.
Baseball is a funny game. It’s hard to win a lot. You win seven straight, sweep one team, win a series against another, Martin Perez is on the hill, it’s rainy — you figure, no one can win ‘em all, we’ll get ‘em tomorrow, we’re in a good place, yadda yadda yadda.
Ronald Acuna Jr. homered twice and Matt Olson also went deep, helping the Atlanta Braves defeat the visiting Miami Marlins 11-3 on Thursday to sweep a three-game series and extend their winning streak to a season-best eight games.

The Braves rotation is getting pretty crowded. Not necessarily with frontline guys, but with plenty of options to give them innings. Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes were fantastic to begin the week.
For the series finale, the Braves are not rolling out their usual order. Second baseman Ozzie Albies is missing.
