The Atlanta Braves avoided a sweep on Wednesday but dropped their first series of the season. After an off day on Thursday, the team will wrap up an early nine-game road trip with a weekend series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs.
The biggest Braves storyline heading into the weekend has to do with the roster. Saturday is the earliest day that Atlanta could promote top prospect Ronald Acuna Jr. to the majors and avoid him building up a full season of service time. The team has not made any announcements as to whether or not they will promote Acuna this weekend but the watch officially begins on Saturday.
