2024 Atlanta Braves Season Thread

Off season moves weren't spectacular, but could really be good if Sale can stay healthy and Kelenic lives up to his prospect ranking.  Even if they both tank, we should still be one of the top 3 teams in the league. The Dodgers will be tough, but this will be the year to beat them with Otahni only hitting and not contributing to their pitching staff.

I think something might be wrong with Fried too. Guess we’ll see if he bounces back today, but he’s completely lost his command in the spring and the first start this year. His velocity is still good, so at least there’s that.

The Braves announced that infielder Ozzie Albies has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right great toe fracture. Infielder David Fletcher has been selected to take his place on the roster. Atlanta had a couple of vacancies on its 40-man roster and won’t need to make a corresponding move in that regard.

Albies was hit on the toe by a pitch in the second inning of last night’s game against the Astros. He stayed in the game and played the rest of it, but it appears that some post-game testing revealed a fracture. The fact that he didn’t immediately leave the contest perhaps suggests it will be a brief stint on the IL, but the club hasn’t yet provided any estimates of that nature.

For however long he’s out, it will be a blow the club. Albies has been a consistently strong hitter and was out to a hot start this year. He’s hit .273/.326/.479 in his career but currently sits on a robust slash of .317/.386/.492 in 2024.
