It was a tough week for the Atlanta Braves, as they finished 1-4 for the week as a whole after losing to the Mets 8-1 on Sunday. While the Braves were the best team in baseball on the road entering the week, every team is bound to have these stretches at least a few times a season.
While better days will happen soon, the Braves starting pitching also will remain a concern going forward. Spencer Strider will be meeting this week with the same doctor who did his elbow surgeries in the past, which is certainly not the best news. Bryce Elder is working through regression and the Braves in general are managing the staff to ensure the bullpen does not get overused. It is not an ideal situation, but hopefully reinforcements will be here soon to make things a bit easier.
