## Resource

The Braves are in pitching limbo as Spencer Strider’s injury leaves them scrambling for starters—JR Ritchie’s demotion, Reynaldo Lopez’s shaky transition, and Hurston Waldrep’s cautious return from elbow surgery force manager Walt Weiss into a tough call. With Holmes’ solid ERA and Lopez’s limited starts on the line, the Braves face a choice: risk a six-man rotation or send Waldrep back down to rebuild his starter’s stamina. It’s a headache with depth, but the real fireworks are just around the corner as more arms return from injury. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
