The Atlanta Braves' pitching staff has faced significant injuries this season, with Reynaldo López, Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, and AJ Smith-Shawver all experiencing long-term issues. Grant Holmes was the last active pitcher from the Opening Day rotation, but he was injured in a game against the Rangers and is now heading for an MRI due to elbow tightness. The recovery timeline for the injured pitchers suggests that Chris Sale may return by August to provide relief to the struggling rotation, while Holmes' injury adds to the team's woes.
Reynaldo López only lasted a few innings before his injury heralded the beginning of what would be a cursed season for Atlanta's starting rotation.
Grant Holmes was reportedly complaining of elbow tightness and will be heading to Atlanta for an MRI.
Once Chris Sale returns, he'll hopefully form a 1-2 punch with Spencer Strider.
This is a tough blow for Holmes to take as while he wasn't exactly setting the world on fire, he had clearly established himself.
