Raymond Carlin III-USA TODAY Sports Atlanta will feature Mueller and Anderson on Saturday against the Marlins. Late Friday Night, the Braves announced a change in expected plans for Saturday’s double header against the Marlins. LHP Kyle Muller is scheduled to start Game 1 of tomorrow’s doubleheader, with RHP Ian Anderson set to start Game 2.— Atlanta Braves (@Braves) August 13, 2022 Many logical projections had Ian Anderson and Spencer Strider starting the two Saturday games and Charlie Morton starting in the Sunday finale against Miami. However, the Braves decided to change the expected plans in an effort to monitor Kyle Wright’s innings: There has been a charge to Saturday’s starters: Kyle Muller will pitch the first game, Ian Anderson the second. The Braves have a TBD for Sunday. Kyle Wright is experiencing some arm fatigue. Wright didn’t seem concerned when I talked to him just now.— Justin Toscano (@JustinCToscano) August 13, 2022 While Kyle Wright was effective against the Red Sox on Wednesday, there was a noticeable drop in velocity in his pitches. Combine that with his previous start against the Mets in which he gave up four home runs, it makes sense that the Braves are putting forth an effort to monitor his innings. In his one start at the MLB level this season, Kyle Muller struggled. However, he has been dominant in Triple-A, though a recent injury to his non-throwing hand has resulted in less than ideal results. Kyle Muller, who'd suffered a broken bone in his non-pitching hand, made his first start since July 14 on Saturday. He went 4.2 IP and allowed 5 ER on 6 H. Bad start, sure, but that came after a 3 week layoff. He's been outstanding overall in Gwinnett this season. #Braves— Grant McAuley (@grantmcauley) August 7, 2022 Weeks removed from the injury, the Braves seem confident that Muller and Anderson can produce effective starts on Saturday that will allow the Braves offense to put Atlanta in position to win. After the announcement of Saturday’s starters, the Braves will then decide how to utilize their starting rotation in the series finale against the Marlins and in their next series against the Mets. If the Braves offense can support Muller and Anderson on Saturday, the Braves starting rotation could be in a good position before the series against the Mets next week.

Drake London started off his NFL career by reeling in a nice pass from Marcus Mariota and picking up quite a few yards, the kind of start you want for a promising rookie wide receiver. Unfortunately, his first play of the night was also his last play of the night. Per multiple reports, London has exited the game with what’s what being classified as a knee injury, which has activated my anxiety in a way few other injuries do. He will not return to the game tonight. Falcons rookie WR Drake London (knee) will not return.Got hurt on the first drive of the game.— Michael Rothstein (@mikerothstein) August 12, 2022 London headed to the medical tent after he was injured but still had his helmet, which gave observers some hope that he might return. The hope here is that this is a minor injury and the Falcons are being cautious, rather than the grim alternative that London is already facing a significant injury before the season already starts. We’ll have to hope for the best. London, Atlanta’s top pick in 2022, will head into the season as the team’s top receiver if he’s healthy and offers an intriguing blend of size, physicality, and NFL readiness. In his absence, we’ll likely see a lot of Auden Tate and Geronimo Allison tonight.
