Braves News: Martin Perez, taking care of business, more

Atlanta Braves ace Martín Pérez has delivered 121.0 innings of solid pitching this season, contributing significantly to the team's current standing. Despite being designated for assignment (DFA) at one point, Pérez's impact has been invaluable, even though his performance hasn't matched a 3.05 ERA pitcher's numbers. His recent outing against the Colorado Rockies, where he allowed just one run over six innings, has underscored his importance to Atlanta.

The Braves secured a 2-1 victory over the Rockies, largely due to Pérez's stellar performance, although the team's offense fell short. Meanwhile, in the broader MLB landscape, the New York Mets have placed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on waivers, seeking financial relief as they aim to offload a quality player. Meanwhile, the team continues to assess their roster through waivers.

Additionally, the Mets have activated superstar Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list, injecting renewed energy into their lineup. On a different note, MLB sensation Shohei Ohtani's next scheduled start as a pitcher has been postponed due to knee discomfort, a development that could affect the Angels' pitching prospects.
