Braves News: AJ Smith-Shawver, Chris Sale, Losing Streak Ends, More
Briefly

The Braves delivered one of their most complete performances this season with a 7-1 win over the Brewers, led by Chris Sale's exceptional pitching and a powerful offensive display. This victory comes amid a difficult stretch for the team, but it brings hope for a turnaround in momentum. Off the field, the Braves faced challenges, with AJ Smith Shawver undergoing Tommy John Surgery and infield prospect Nacho Alvarez starting a rehab assignment. The club is also eyeing high school shortstop Josh Hammond in the upcoming draft.
Following the dominance of Chris Sale on Monday, the Braves are hoping this is where the momentum can begin to turnaround their season.
It was also a noteworthy day off the field. As was expected, AJ Smith Shawver underwent Tommy John Surgery on his pitching elbow. He will be out for the rest of the season.
The latest Baseball America mock draft shows the Braves taking high school shortstop Josh Hammond from North Carolina.
Hopefully, this will be the first of many wins this week for Atlanta.
