Atlanta Braves News
Atlanta tried to mount a rally late but came up just short in a 5-3 loss to the Washington Nationals. They will try to salvage a split in the series on Sunday.
The Braves are hopeful that Max Fried will be ready to return by next weekend in Philadelphia. Fried went on the injured list last week due to a blister on his pitching hand but he and the team remain hopeful that he won’t miss but one start. Atlanta will go with Dallas Keuchel and Julio Teheran on Tuesday and Wednesday against the Royals.
