Reynaldo Lopez

ATL Starting Pitcher #40

Braves placed RHP Reynaldo Lopez on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 2nd, with right forearm inflammation.

An MRI revealed no structural damage for Lopez and he was initially listed as day-to-day, but ultimately he’s going on the injured list anyway. It’s hardly surprising that he’s having some arm trouble at this time of the year as he’s seen a significant increase in his innings pitched this year after transitioning from reliever to starting pitcher. Hopefully Lopez can return when he’s first eligible on August 17th.
Bryce Elder

ATL Starting Pitcher #55

Braves recalled RHP Bryce Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Elder was optioned just days ago, but is back in Atlanta with Reynaldo Lopez going on the injured list. The Braves have Monday off and now Elder is set to start Tuesday’s game against the Brewers with Chris Sale going on Wednesday and Charlie Morton on Thursday. Elder has a 5.67 ERA on the season, but won his last start which was also against Milwaukee. He could be a streaming option in deeper formats.
Austin Riley

ATL Third Baseman #27

Austin Riley went 3-for-4 with a double on Sunday against the Marlins.

Riley was the only batter to reach scoring position for the Braves against Edward Cabrera in what was a forgettable game and series for Atlanta. Still, Riley’s OPS keeps creeping closer and closer to that magical .800 as his cold April and May are ancient history.
Max Fried

ATL Starting Pitcher #54

Max Fried walked five batters in just 3 1/3 innings on Sunday against the Marlins. He allowed four hits and five runs with six strikeouts.

Fried looked terrible in his return from the injured list. His command was horrific with just a 40% zone rate (his season average is 48%) and the new-look Marlins didn’t chase out of the zone very often. Rather, they worked long at-bats, took their free passes, and Jonah Bride delivered a three-run homer off Luke Jackson that tacked two more runs on Fried’s ledger in a disastrous fourth inning. Hopefully he can get on track next time around.
Dylan Lee

ATL Relief Pitcher #52

Braves optioned RHP Dylan Lee to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Lee is off the active roster with Max Fried (forearm) off the injured list to start Sunday’s game against the Marlins. Lee will likely get a chance before the season ends in a low-leverage role.
Max Fried

ATL Starting Pitcher #54

Braves reinstated LHP Max Fried off the 15-day injured list.

Fried missed just a smidgen over the minimum 15 days after going down July 18 with left forearm neuritis. The southpaw is back and will get the ball for Sunday’s series finale against the Marlins. Fried has been excellent in 2024, and should be activated for Sunday’s contest.
Marcell Ozuna

ATL Left Fielder #20

Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Marlins.

Ozuna now has 32 home runs and 86 RBI in what has been a tremendous season for him. There’s not much else to analyze. He should be in your lineup every day.
Jarred Kelenic

ATL Center Fielder #24

Jarred Kelenic went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.

After bursting back onto the fantasy radar and becoming a consistent asset as a lead-off hitter for the Braves earlier this season, Kelenic has cratered a bit since. He hit just .137 in 24 games in July and now has a strikeout rate above 30 percent since the All-Star break. With Jorge Soler now in Atlanta, there’s a good chance Kelenic could lose a significant amount of playing time when Michael Harris returns from the injured list.
Grant Holmes

ATL Relief Pitcher #66

Grant Holmes allowed three runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Saturday.

It seemed like a great matchup for Holmes, who had flourished as a reliever this season, but he was inconsistent on Saturday, striking out four, walking one, and allowing three extra-base hits, including a home run. Holmes wasn’t hit particularly hard overall, but he also didn’t look overly dominant. He may move back to a relief role with Reynaldo Lopez likely to make his next start.
Max Fried

ATL Starting Pitcher #54

Max Fried (forearm) will return from the injured list to start in Sunday’s series finale against the Marlins.

The 30-year-old southpaw has been sidelined since July 18 due to left forearm neuritis. He has been terrific when healthy this season, compiling a 3.08 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 95/34 K/BB ratio over 108 innings through his first 18 starts. Fantasy managers should have no qualms about starting him against the Marlins in his first start back.
