Overview
- The Braves announced that Dylan Dodd went on the injured list with left thoracic spine inflammation as Carlos Carrasco and JR Ritchie were selected to the MLB roster and Didier Fuentes was optioned to Triple-A.
- Ritchie, the club’s No. 2 prospect, has a 0.99 ERA across five Triple-A starts and is set for his first big-league action.
- Carrasco is expected to provide long relief after posting a 1.71 ERA at Triple-A this year, including six scoreless innings in his most recent Gwinnett start.
- Coverage differed on Dodd’s diagnosis, with the team citing spine inflammation and MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reporting a back or oblique strain.
- Atlanta entered the day 17–8 and leading the NL East as Spencer Strider and Sean Murphy continued rehab assignments that could bring near-term reinforcements if progress holds.
