Braves hope young rotation steps up in 2018

ATLANTA -- There are a number of questions surrounding the eventual makeup and capability of the Braves' rotation, and the answers will significantly influence how soon the club might once again be considered a postseason contender.

Julio Teheran and Brandon McCarthy, who was acquired from the Dodgers in December, stand as the only members of the projected rotation who have spent an entire season at the Major League level. They will be tasked with providing stability in a young rotation that should also include Mike Foltynewicz and Sean Newcomb.

Luiz Gohara, Max Fried, Lucas Sims, Mike Soroka and Kolby Allard will come to Spring Training with a chance to either open the season as the fifth starter or at least prove how close they are to establishing themselves as mainstays in Atlanta's rotation.
