"The Braves are facing a challenging pitching situation following AJ Smith-Shawver's injury, leading to the potential need for a trade for a starter."
"With Bryce Elder likely stepping in, the Braves must consider their depth options, which include several young pitchers and some who may not meet expectations."
The Atlanta Braves are grappling with a significant setback as AJ Smith-Shawver has been ruled out for the entire season. Bryce Elder is expected to take over as his immediate replacement. Beyond Elder, the team has a mix of promising young pitchers like Hurston Waldrep and Nathan Wiles, alongside more experienced options that have underperformed. The Braves face a looming decision regarding a summer trade for a starting pitcher, as past trades have yielded lackluster results, and the team's current depth may not adequately meet their needs.
