The Atlanta Braves just lost another starting pitcher on Thursday. This makes the rotation for the Wild Card even more short staffed.

Braves will be without $71M All-Star veteran in Wild Card series, raising rotation red flags

The Atlanta Braves are set to be without a key player during the upcoming Wild Card series, raising concerns about their rotation depth. Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle are poised to start the first two games, with Martin Perez and Grant Holmes likely to battle for the No. 3 spot. However, Martin Perez has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to lower back inflammation, which could sideline him until October 6, well after the series concludes.

As a result, Atlanta could face a more challenging playoff run without their $71 million All-Star veteran.
