Braves' Sean Murphy: Resting for day game
Rotowire
Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.
Murphy will get a breather for Thursday's matinee after he caught eight innings of Atlanta's 4-2 loss Wednesday night while going hitless across four at-bats. Travis d'Arnaud will spell Murphy behind the plate.

Braves' Matt Olson: Swats homer No. 10
Rotowire
Olson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.
The first baseman spoiled Baltimore's combined shutout bid by taking Keegan Akin deep in the eighth inning. Olson has hit safely in six straight games, and over his last 16 contests he's slashing .328/.385/.586 with three of his 10 homers on the season.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Quality start in rookie duel
Rotowire
Schwellenbach came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.
Matched up against fellow rookie hurler Cade Povich, Schwellenbach produced his first quality start in three trips to the mound for Atlanta, but the 24-year-old right-hander was on the hook for a loss until Matt Olson went deep in the top of the eighth inning. Schwellenbach may have earned himself a longer stay in the majors with Wednesday's performance, but he'll take a 6.32 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB through 15.2 big-league innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Tigers.

Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Limited use since Murphy's return
Rotowire
D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
D'Arnaud will probably get the start at catcher in Thursday's series finale in Baltimore -- which is a day game after a night game -- but the veteran backstop has seen his playing time take a steady dip since Sean Murphy returned from the injured list May 27. Murphy will get his 11th start in 15 games since his return, with d'Arnaud getting the nod at catcher for the four other contests.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Hitting bench against lefty
Rotowire
Kelenic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
The lefty-hitting Kelenic had started in both of Atlanta's previous two matchups with lefty starters, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while the Orioles bring southpaw Cade Povich to the mound. Adam Duvall will move over from right field to cover Kelenic's usual spot in left field while Brian Anderson draws the start in right.

Braves' Blake Burkhalter: Returns to action for Rome
Rotowire
High-A Rome reinstated Burkhalter (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Sunday.
Burkhalter made his High-A debut Sunday in Rome's 5-0 loss to Winston-Salem, working 3.1 innings and striking out two while giving up one run on six hits and no walks. A second-round pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, Burkhalter missed the entire 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He was on the shelf for most of the first two months of the 2024 campaign before he reported to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in late May and made two rehab appearances.

Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Bumped up to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta promoted Alvarez from Double-A Mississippi to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
A 21-year-old shortstop, Alvarez didn't hit a home run over his 202 plate appearances with Mississippi, but he earned the promotion after going 16-for-17 on stolen-base attempts while getting on base at a .381 clip.

Braves' Max Fried: Falls to Orioles
Rotowire
Fried (6-3) took the loss Tuesday against Baltimore, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Three of the runs charged to Fried came on a Jorge Mateo homer in the second inning. It was a tough night for the 30-year-old left-hander -- Fried had won three consecutive starts prior to Tuesday, allowing just three earned runs over 24 innings while striking out 28 in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.20 on the year with a 1.06 WHIP and 70:24 K:BB across 13 starts (78.2 innings). Fried will look to bounce back in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week at home against the Tigers.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Set to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Schwellenbach is listed as Atlanta's starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Orioles in Baltimore.
He will be matched up against former college teammate Cade Povich in a battle between two of the top pitching prospects in both organizations. Schwellenbach hasn't looked sharp in his first two major-league outings, allowing a total of nine runs over 9.2 innings in losses to the Nationals and Red Sox. The young righty's future still looks bright, but he'll be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes Wednesday in a tough matchup.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: On base three times Sunday
Rotowire
Arcia went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.
It's the first time all season the veteran shortstop has drawn multiple free passes in a game. Arcia's rough start to the year has continued into June, and through eight games this month he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), but three of those hits have gone for extra bases -- two doubles and a homer.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Blasts three-run homer
Rotowire
Kelenic went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Nationals.
Kelenic's ninth-inning three-run blast cut the deficit to three and provided Atlanta with their final runs of the afternoon. The homer was a good sign for Kelenic, who appears to be fine after having missed a couple of games earlier in the week with a wrist injury. It was the seventh multi-hit game of the season for Kelenic, who is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with three doubles, a triple, a homer and five RBI over his last nine games.

Braves' Hurston Waldrep: Takes loss in debut
Rotowire
Waldrep (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on four hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out one.
Waldrep began his major-league debut well, allowing only a walk over the first three innings. However, the bottom fell out in the fourth when he allowed seven of the nine batters he faced to reach base, and he was pulled with two outs and the bases loaded having already allowed four runs. Reliever Aaron Bummer then came on, allowing a double to the next batter, CJ Abrams, who cleared the bases. Despite the ugly result, the 22-year-old prospect looked the part through three and should receive more chances to stick in the rotation for the time being. Should he make his next turn, he would be tentatively slated to start next weekend when the Rays come to Atlanta for an interleague showdown.
