4 hours ago Braves News: Max Fried to start Thursday, Ozzie Albies progressing in rehab, more
Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports
The Braves continue to get good news off the field for the stretch run of the season. Wednesday was less the ideal for the Braves pitching staff.
The Braves offense, considering they were facing Max Scherzer, actually continued to produce in a 9-7 loss to the Mets. This time it was the pitching, both late and early, that struggled. While the Braves attempted to comeback multiple times, the Mets simply got better production overall from their arms.
As a result, the Braves are once again in a position where a win is critical on Thursday night. Of course, accomplishing that win is much easier said that done with Jacob deGrom on the mound. However, Max Fried was announced as Atlanta’s starter for Thursday, returning from being on the concussion injured list. Fried’s arm should be fresh, and if he can avoid rust and keep the game close into the middle and late innings, Atlanta’s chances would logically improve.
The Braves will enter Thursday with A.J. Minter, Kenley Jansen, and Rasiel Iglesias fresh from not being used on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Edwin Diaz did pitch an inning last night for the Mets. With how well the Braves offense is performing as of late, Atlanta has to feel that a close game works to their favor once deGrom is out of the game. Hopefully, Atlanta will figure out a way to win and make the most of this series against the Mets.

Fried missed his scheduled start last weekend with a concussion. The Braves announced Max Fried will come off the Injured List and start Thursday night’s series finale against the Mets. Fried will be opposed by Jacob deGrom with first pitch from Truist Park scheduled for 7:20pm ET.
Fried, who last pitched ten days ago in New York against the Mets, went on the Concussion IL and missed his scheduled start over the weekend in Miami. Fried felt lingering effects after he hit his head on the ground while attempting to field and throw a ball towards the plate. He remained in the game, but in the following days he realized he was not 100 percent.
Despite the absence of Fried, the Braves went on to win seven games in a row started by seven different pitchers, a testament to the depth they have accumulated on the 40-man roster. Now, Fried will look to close out an important series against the division-leading Mets.
