The Atlanta Braves are having a season to remember—in all the wrong ways. This has been the most injury-riddled season in recent memory for the Braves. Currently, the team has five players from their Opening Day lineup that are on the injured list, with three of those being season-ending. Even third baseman Austin Riley will miss the remainder of the regular season, though Ozzie Albies is set to return in September.
You would think with that many injuries to some of their star players—Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider, A.J. Minter—there's no way the Braves would be in playoff contention.
