Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo López exited his start against the New York Mets after three scoreless innings due to right forearm tightness, prompting precautionary measures from the team. The Braves announced that López, who has been a revelation in his first season as a full-time starter with a 2.06 ERA, is day-to-day and will undergo an MRI. This injury adds to the team's challenges as they are already without key players, including Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies. The Braves, currently holding a 55-48 record, need to assess their rotation depth heading into the trade deadline, especially with their pitching staff already stretched thin. If López's condition worsens, it could significantly impact their playoff aspirations. The team is expected to rely on journeyman Grant Holmes for a spot start in the interim as they navigate this injury crisis.
