The Braves, after picking up Erick Fedde and Luke Jackson:

Two things could work in the Braves favor here: 1) They could eat most/all of Ozuna’s $6MM remaining salary to make it work. 2) Peña is Rule 5-eligible this winter and this may be a way for the Padres to get ahead of a potential roster crunch.

Bryce Elder wins his start against the A’s as the game ends four years to the day after he participated in a combined no-hitter for the Mississippi Braves. The other pitcher that helped him accomplish that feat? Daysbel Hernández. Their catcher that night? Current A’s catcher Shea Langeliers.

But they did have Bryan De La Cruz for 50 PA with an OPS of, you guessed it, .453.

John Gant has been around for so long that the Braves traded Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson to get him and then sent him to the Cardinals for Jaime Garcia.

Eli White’s triple is just the second by the Braves this season. The other triple was by Stuart Fairchild, which is his only hit as a Brave.

Number of pitches thrown by Braves pitchers tonight: Blewett - 48 Bummer - 40 De Los Santos - 26 Montero - 24 Wiles - 24 Lee - 20 Only Johnson, Hernández, and Iglesias sat out tonight. I hope Bryce Elder is prepared about 150 pitches tomorrow.

After his fourth walk of the night, Marcell Ozuna now has a .500 OBP for the season.

I think it was more about the flippant reply Snit gave last night, saying “Was I supposed to?” In response to a question about what Kelenic did.

Enyel De Los Santos has been tremendous for the Braves bullpen in the early going with a 1.42 ERA and 0.3 fWAR. If he keeps this up, he could find himself in more high-leverage situations.

Fun with early-season stats: Three days ago, Jarred Kelenic was in the 1st percentile on walk rate because he did not have any walks. Now? He’s in the 80th percentile.

Jesse Chavez was DFA’d for RHP Zach Thompson but will likely be back at some point. After Suárez throwing 40+ pitches on Sunday night and Jesse doing the same on Monday, the team needs someone to eat innings over the next couple of days if it comes to that.

The inaugural Columbus Clingstones roster is out, the pitching staff is absolutely loaded. Also of note, David Fletcher is listed as an infielder. I guess the pitching experiment is over.

The year is 2088. President Young Sheldon has declared war on Papa John's (formerly known as Greenland). Ducks are now illegal. Atlanta selects the contract of Jesse Chavez from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Jesse Chavez move is fine. Hector Neris wasn’t doing the job and, although José Suarez did a nice job eating innings on Sunday night, he won’t be available for at least a couple of days after throwing 43 pitches.

Looking forward to Raisel Iglesias pitching the 8th inning just so he can finally get some work in.
