The Braves have announced their starting rotation plans for the opening week of the season, which will begin Thursday, April 7th against the Cincinnati Reds.
As announced earlier this week, Max Fried will take the mound on opening day. Fried is coming off a stellar 2021 campaign and was the winning pitcher in Game 6 of the World Series.
Fried will be followed by Charlie Morton on Friday night, who has recovered nicely after undergoing surgery last November for a broken leg.
After a rainout this past week, the Braves adjusted rotation plans a bit and moved Kyle Wright up to the third spot on Saturday evening against Cincinnati.
