Braves Minor League Preview: 7/26
Briefly

JR Ritchie takes the mound for his second Triple-A start for Gwinnett Stripers. He previously allowed three runs but only six base runners in his last outing. Notable hitters for Gwinnett include Nacho Alvarez and Luke Waddell. Ian Mejia will pitch for Columbus Clingstones in one of two scheduled games, looking to build on his excellent 2.10 ERA. Meanwhile, Cedric De Grandpre will start for the Rome Emperors aiming to rebound from a loss, though high walk rates affect his promotion chances. Relevant hitters for Rome include Ambioris Tavarez, Patrick Clohisy, and Mason Guerra.
JR Ritchie is set for his second Triple-A start after a solid performance that saw him concede just six base runners in six innings. As he eyes a potential role in the next year's Opening Day rotation, both Nacho Alvarez and Luke Waddell stand out as significant hitters for Gwinnett who will support him in the lineup.
Ian Mejia takes the mound for one of the doubleheader games, boasting an impressive 2.10 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. With David McCabe, Drew Compton, and Ethan Workinger in the lineup, Columbus hopes for a stronger offensive performance compared to recent outings.
Cedric De Grandpre will start for Rome as they look to bounce back from a previous loss. Despite good overall results since returning to play, his high walk rate has hindered his promotion opportunities.
