Injuries and opt-outs decimated the Atlanta Braves’ rotation in 2020, but the addition of a pair of veterans, along with the return to health of Mike Soroka, has this unit again looking like a position of strength. The Braves began the 2020 season with hopes of having a rotation that featured Soroka and Max Fried at the top, veteran addition Cole Hamels in the middle, and Mike Foltynewicz, Sean Newcomb, and others to round things out. Veteran Felix Hernandez also pitched well during Spring Training and appeared to be in line to claim a rotation spot with Hamels expected to begin the season on the injured list.
