The Atlanta Braves won a title in 2021, and have enjoyed back-to-back 100+ win seasons since then. But this year they have been ravaged by injuries, most notably an ACL injury to Ronald Acuña Jr. that ended his season back in May. Star pitcher Spencer Strider and All-Star third baseman Austin Riley are also out, but the team has gotten some other key players back.
