Summary
JR Ritchie, the 20-year-old Braves pitching prospect, just notched his first career save with a scoreless three-inning outing against the Mets — striking out four and allowing just three hits — before being sent back down to Triple-A the next day. The Braves brought up veteran Carlos Carrasco to fill his spot, highlighting Ritchie’s role as a bullpen bridge. This marks his third trip between the majors and Triple-A this season, and his brief but effective appearance — 46 pitches, zero runs — proves he can deliver in high-leverage spots. Though viewed as a future starter, Ritchie’s strong relief performance could earn him another call-up after the All-Star break.
