Braves’ Battle Beyond Injuries: Can They Defy the Odds and Dominate the NL East?
Offseason moves:
The biggest move was getting healthy. Getting key players back and establishing a consistent routine for their team were the most important aspects for them this year. They didn’t really do a ton of things outside of that, but they did make one major change. They added to their bench, which seemed to be the downfall of the team at least last year.Â
Roster:
Their shortstop, Ha-Seong Kim, who they re-signed, tore a finger, which means he is out for a couple of months, but could be here for the start of the season. Spencer Schwellenbach, one of their starters, is out for a couple of months due to bone spurs in his elbow. Sean Murphy, their catcher, will be out as well.  So… the injury bug isn’t quite gone from Atlanta. Depth is important, and they do have more of that than last year. I’m interested to see if guys can have bounce-back years. Acuna is really good and if he returns to what he was before his ACL injury, the Braves have the middle-of-the-order guy that they need.Â
