Braves' Battle Beyond Injuries: Can They Defy the Odds and Dominate the NL East?

Atlanta Braves Preview

It is almost hard to believe that this team that won a World Series just a few years ago, had the Cy Young two years ago, and an annual MVP candidate, ended up being one of the worst ten teams in baseball last year. However, that’s exactly what happened to the Atlanta Braves. After two seasons of virtually everyone being injured, they enter this year healthy and with a chance to do some damage.

Last year recap: 

Ronald Acuna Jr., 49 games. Austin Riley, 102 games. Chris Sale has just 21 starts (still more than he made in three of his final seasons in Boston, but not the ideal follow-up to 2024). Spencer Strider made 23 starts. Ozzie Albies played almost the whole season, but he fractured a bone in his hand in September as well, leading to a fitting end for the season. The point, as you probably guessed, is that this was a really injury-heavy season for the Braves. That did give some guys a chance to play a lot more and could lead to development that pays off this season. Aside from that, though, the Braves ended in fourth place in the division and looked bad most of the year.
