Ehire Adrianza

ATL Third Baseman #9

Ehire Adrianza has elected free agency.

The 34-year-old infielder was designated for assignment last week and passed through waivers unclaimed, but rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett, Adrianza has opted to explore the open market. He went 0-for-10 with a 4/1 K/BB ratio in 11 plate appearances during his limited time with the Braves this season.
Marcell Ozuna

ATL Left Fielder #20

Marcell Ozuna reached the 40-homer mark for the first time in his career with a pair of homers against the Nationals on Sunday.

Ozuna launched a three-run blast against Jackson Rutledge in the third inning before connecting for his 40th with a solo shot against Kyle Finnegan in the ninth. With the four-RBI day, Ozuna will finish at exactly 100 RBI for the year, the first time he’s reached the century mark since 2017 with the Marlins. The 32-year-old has been a big part of what makes the Braves’ lineup so deep and treacherous for opposing pitchers.
Matt Olson

ATL First Baseman #28

Matt Olson knocked in two runs with a single in his lone at-bat Sunday against the Nationals.

Ronald Acuña Jr. also made an early exit on Sunday. Of course, the Braves had no real reason to keep them out there all afternoon, but each of them also received standing ovations upon leaving the playing field. With his two-run single, Olson extended his modern club record RBI total to 139 to lead the majors. The 29-year-old also hit 54 home runs to lead the majors and set the Braves record. Braves fans are hopeful that more fireworks are on the way come playoff-time.
Dylan Dodd

ATL Starting Pitcher #46

Braves recalled LHP Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Dodd will take the ball for Game 162 as the Braves look to give the injury-riddled pitching staff extended rest before the postseason begins. The 25-year-old southpaw has been on the struggle bus all season, posting a 5.91 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 74 2/3 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett and a 7.62 ERA and 1.94 WHIP across 28 1/3 innings with the big league clubs. He isn’t considered a streaming option for fantasy managers in leagues with daily moves.
Jackson Stephens

ATL Relief Pitcher #53

Braves placed RHP Jackson Stephens on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

The 30-year-old posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 11/5 K/BB ratio across 12 innings (five appearances) since he was promoted to the majors in early September. Lefty Dylan Dodd will take his place on the active roster.
Dylan Dodd

ATL Starting Pitcher #46

Dylan Dodd is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Sunday’s game against the Nationals.

Dodd last appeared in the majors on September 9 against the Pirates, a game where he allowed four runs on seven hits across four innings of work. With just one game left and the top-seeded Braves having nothing to play for on Sunday, the 25-year-old will be asked to eat as many innings as possible before the postseason begins.
Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Raisel Iglesias pitched a scoreless ninth for his 33rd save Saturday against the Nationals.

Iglesias was called to protect a two-run lead in the ninth, and he needed just 14 pitches to get the job done. He allowed one hit and struck out one batter en route to his 33rd save of the season. The 33-year-old has a 2.75 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and has converted 33 of his 37 save opportunities this season.
Ronald Acuna Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. reached four times, stole a base and scored twice as the Braves bested the Nationals 5-3 on Saturday.

Acuña’s 73rd steal set a Braves record, surpassing Otis Nixon’s total of 72 steals in 1991. The two runs scored pushed him up to 149 for the year. For some reason, everyone seems to think the steals are more important, but if Acuña can get to 150 runs scored, he’d be just the second player to reach that mark since 1950, joining Jeff Bagwell in 2000.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

Spencer Strider picked up his 20th win Saturday after allowing three runs in five innings against the Nationals.

Pitching for an offensive juggernaut, Strider will end the year with three more wins than any other major league starter. If he had done this 15 years ago — finishing 20-5 with a 3.86 ERA — there’s a good chance he’d have won Cy Young honors. These days, though, ERA and other run prevention stats take precedence over wins. Even though he’s not the same pitcher from the stretch that he is with no runners on, Strider is still off to an historic start through two-plus seasons. His 281 strikeouts this year set a Braves record, and he’s now 32-10 in 42 career decisions.
Allan Winans

ATL Starting Pitcher #72

Allan Winans was tagged for six runs in 5 1/3 innings by the Nationals on Friday.

It’s a definite setback to Winans’ hopes of starting any postseason games. He pitched well in five of his seven starts for the Braves, but the other two were bad enough to leave him with a 5.29 ERA. On the other hand, his 34/8 K/BB in 32 1/3 innings is pretty impressive. He still might be a better option than Bryce Elder at the moment, though the same goes for Darius Vines (who was just sent down) and AJ Smith-Shawver.
