## Resource

The Braves’ pitching woes are deepening as Spencer Strider’s return slips further away, possibly ending his season, while Schwellenbach’s status remains uncertain and Pérez is sidelined. Despite glaring rotation needs, the team’s trade deadline focus is oddly centered on offense, ignoring the urgency for a proven starter. Relying on unproven prospects like AJ Smith-Shawver, JR Ritchie, or Owen Murphy feels risky — and if they don’t add at least one reliable arm before August, they’re setting themselves up for a major late-season collapse.
