Braves open final regular-season series at Miami with TBA on mound
Will the real Braves starter please stand up?
The Atlanta Braves concluded their final regular-season series at the Miami Marlins on September 19, 2026. Although the division was already secured, the series held significance for the team's starting pitchers. Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle started the final two games of the Reds series, with remaining pitchers yet to be announced at the Marlins.
This absence of importance was apparent as the Braves had not yet set their starting lineups for the Marlins series. The Marlins, on the other hand, had announced their starter, right-hander Eury Pérez (7-11, 4.14), who had faced the Braves three times this season with a 0-1 record and 7.00 ERA. Despite the lack of stakes, the series provided an opportunity for the Braves' lineup to find their form as they prepared for their first postseason series since the 2021 World Series.
