"Lopez's last start saw him fail to get out of the second inning, as he allowed four earned runs over an inning plus two batters in the Braves' 11-4 loss to the Nationals last Tuesday."
"Weiss said, 'Lopez is working through some things, delivery-wise, that type of thing, and he's getting there. When he's right, he's one of our best starters.'"
"'It's series to series with the rotation right now,' Weiss admitted, indicating the ongoing adjustments in response to player performance and health."
"Strider has been on the 15-day injured list all season recovering from an oblique strain, but he threw 82 pitches in his third rehab start today."
The Braves are adjusting their starting rotation due to injuries, with Spencer Strider nearing a return. Reynaldo Lopez is being moved to the bullpen after a poor start. Manager Walt Weiss noted Lopez is working on his delivery and is seen as a long-term starter. The rotation remains fluid, with Martin Perez and Bryce Elder set to start upcoming games. Strider, recovering from an oblique strain, is expected to pitch soon, contributing to the team's strong performance with a 20-9 record.
