The Atlanta Braves' first homestand of the season was full of ups and downs and had no shortage of storylines.
As Atlanta was busy sweeping away the National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks over the weekend, the pitching staff was dealt a critical blow when Spencer Strider suffered an elbow injury and was placed on the 15-day IL. With his season now in jeopardy, how will the Braves fortify their rotation for life without Strider?
Meanwhile, the offense continues to be a strength for Atlanta. Marcell Ozuna's hot start is one of the driving forces for the lineup, but reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. has been strangely quiet over the first two weeks. Could that change when the Braves head to Miami for a series against the last place Marlins?
Grant McAuley and Kris Willis of Battery Power will cover all the Braves news of the week and preview the road trip which includes a series against the Houston Astros at the start of next week.
