JR Ritchie to get second start, Reynaldo Lopez heads to bullpen
"JR Ritchie made a strong impression in his MLB debut, earning a victory by pitching seven innings and allowing only two runs while striking out seven batters against the Nationals."
"Reynaldo López has faced challenges this season, allowing a total of seven earned runs in his last two starts, prompting the decision to move him to the bullpen for mechanical adjustments."
"Spencer Strider's successful five-inning outing for Triple-A Gwinnett indicates he may soon be activated from the injured list, although the Braves have not confirmed if he will make another minor league start."
Walt Weiss announced that JR Ritchie will make his second major league start against the Detroit Tigers. Ritchie previously won his debut, allowing two runs in seven innings. Reynaldo López is transitioning to the bullpen to address mechanical issues after struggling in his last two starts. Spencer Strider is rehabbing and may return from the IL soon. Ritchie's home debut is contingent on weather conditions as the Braves face a competitive Tigers team.
