The last to beat the Braves before Greene was lefty Tyler Matzek, who pitched for the Rockies and is now a part of the Braves’ bullpen. In their season-opening series against the Reds, the Braves faced Hunter Greene, who allowed three runs in his debut.īefore Greene picked up a win against the Braves, none of the last six starting pitchers to make their debut against Atlanta earned a victory. He has been one of San Diego’s top prospects since the club drafted him No. The Padres announced left-hander MacKenzie Gore would be their starter for Friday’s game. He is making his second start on Sunday in San Diego.įriday marked the second time in nine games that the Braves would be facing a starting pitcher making his MLB debut.
“I think right now, it’s just going to be where we need him.”Īs of now, Bryce Elder is the Braves’ sixth starter. “We haven’t talked long term,” Snitker said. In his last appearance, he threw 71 pitches over 3 1/3. The righty has allowed one earned run over 5 1/3 frames this season. Spencer Strider is stretched out and could start a game if the Braves need it. “They’re giving me the opportunity here and I’m taking advantage of it.” “I’ve always enjoyed playing the outfield,” Arcia said. Until then, they are making do with who is currently in the clubhouse. They are loosely targeting May 6, and the outfielder could be on a rehab assignment as soon as next week.
The Braves are waiting for Ronald Acuña to return. “I think it’s harder in the infield because (in the outfield) you’re mostly focused on fly balls. “I think it was easy,” Arcia said of learning the outfield. Arcia gives the Braves a better athlete in left field than Ozuna. Heredia can play all three outfield spots, but might be best in the corners. The most recent outfield alignment, however, could provide the Braves with improved defense. After Thursday’s series opener, Snitker said he wasn’t concerned about it. The Braves’ outfield defense has appeared to be an issue early in the season. It could be good for him to have a night off and get him back in there tomorrow.” I don’t care if (it’s a) veteran or whatever, man. I guarantee you, it’s not an easy thing to go through. “He’s not doing great right now,” Snitker said. He has shown what he can be at his best, but the Braves are still waiting for him to come around after a cold start. He has more errors (three) than hits (one). The Braves need his bat in the lineup, which is why designated hitter – his role on Friday – is a good fit.
He doesn’t have much arm strength or much range. “I enjoy playing anywhere, at all positions,” Arcia said through interpreter Franco García.
