The Atlanta Braves have been decimated by injury this season.
The Braves are missing multiple members of the major league roster in catcher Sean Murphy , starting pitcher Spencer Strider , third baseman Austin Riley , and relief pitcher Tyler Matzek . Using “decimated” to describe Atlanta’s injury situation seems extreme, but in the historical context of one out of every ten, it’s pretty spot-on given that it’s four players off of the 40-man roster.
Acuña admitted after the game, with coach Eddie Perez interpreting, that he expects to miss the same amount of games as 2018 and that he’s getting an MRI on Sunday night after the team returns to Atlanta. The duo has combined to bat .225 in left field, hitting seven home runs and scoring twenty-one times in the team’s first fifty games of the season.
If the Braves decide to have Wall continue playing every day in Gwinnett, other outfielders on the 40-man roster includeMartínez would be an interesting option - the 28-year-old outfielder was acquired via trade this offseason from the Texas Rangers, where he got about 40 at-bats on their 2023 roster but was expendable with the anticipated promotions of prospects Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford.
