BRAVES NEWS
The Braves announced on Wednesday night that former staff members Dom Chiti and Dave Wallace would be returning to the organization. Chiti will reportedly serve as the Braves’ director of pitching and Wallace will be a special assistant. This news is somewhat surprising, as Wallace was the mentor to former Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell, whom the team did not retain following this season. Perhaps this pairing can aid in repairing a young Atlanta rotation next season as they have done in Baltimore since 2013.
Matt Marksberry is reportedly making strides toward a recovery, which is certainly welcome news after what has been a trying time for the left-hander and his family.
