Another MLB season is in the books. The pending lockout is hanging over the heads of players and ownership, but there could be a mad rush of moves prior to December.
There were plenty of encouraging developments for the Braves’ pitching staff this year — but also a few supremely disappointing ones, almost all of them driven by injuries.
The 2026 MLB trade deadline was almost six weeks ago, and as you may recall, the situation for the Texas Rangers was very fluid at the time.

Texas Rangers fans know that the franchise entertained the thought of dealing Jacob deGrom before the trade deadline on Aug. 3. The Atlanta Braves inquired about acquiring the two-time Cy Young winner for the stretch run.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said Monday that right-handers Spencer Strider and Hurston Waldrep will begin throwing programs this week, but stopped short of guaranteeing either pitcher will take a big league mound again in 2026, according to Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan.
In a turn of events, the Atlanta Braves provided a hopeful update for two starting pitchers on the mend. Hurston Waldrep recently received a positive update after receiving multiple opinions from doctors.

The injury bug has seemed to make a living in the Atlanta Braves clubhouse this season. It has bitten the lineup, starting rotation and bullpen all so far this season for the Atlanta.
The Atlanta Braves franchise experienced two different emotions on Monday: misery and elation.
The Atlanta Braves' starting rotation has been battered and bruised this season, but it remains a top-five starting staff in Major League Baseball (fifth in ERA, 3.61).
We are still awaiting the final diagnosis on the injury Spencer Strider suffered on Friday against the Mets.
