The Atlanta Braves are used to having a consistent starting rotation, and that looks iffy heading into 2025.
At the top of the rotation, the Braves are set. Chris Sale, Reynaldo López, and Spencer Schwellenbach have spots locked down, and Spencer Strider will join them whenever he's ready to go after recovering from internal brace surgery on his elbow last spring.
Beyond those names, though, the Braves have a hodgepodge of starters competing for time. Grant Holmes, Ian Anderson, A.J. Smith-Shawver, and Bryce Elder are just some of the experienced Triple-A arms who will be jockeying for rotation spots.
