Braves Seek Offensive Improvement After Slow Start

The Atlanta Braves are facing a challenging start to the season, currently at 0-2 after losing to the San Diego Padres. Despite the losses, manager Brian Snitker remains optimistic about the team's offensive approach, noting that they've worked pitchers well and have had quality at-bats, even if it hasn’t translated into runs yet. Top prospect Drake Baldwin is struggling at the plate with an 0-for-7 start, but he is hitting the ball hard and is expected to improve as the season progresses. Meanwhile, star pitcher Spencer Strider is set to begin a rehab assignment after recovering from elbow surgery, raising hopes for his return to form. The Braves have a solid pitching rotation with the addition of Chris Sale, and expectations are high for the duo of Sale and Strider. As the team looks for its first win, the focus remains on the potential for offensive improvement and the return of key players.
