The #Braves today recalled LHP Dylan Dodd to Atlanta and selected OF José Azócar to the major league roster. The club placed OF Stuart Fairchild on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated pinky finger, and optioned RHP Michael Petersen to Triple-A Gwinnett following last

AJ Smith-Shawver has a torn UCL. He will undergo further evaluation, but the surgical procedure hasn't been decided upon according to #Braves MGR Brian Snitker. Obviously, Tommy John is likely. Bryce Elder will pitch Sunday.

The #Braves are averaging just 3.96 runs per game this month and have scored more than 4 runs just eight times so far this May. They are 12-14 in 26 games this month. In the 14 losses, Atlanta has allowed 3 or fewer runs five times.

Ronald Acuña Jr. has 3 HR already. Today marks his 8th game back in the #Braves lineup. Small sample size, but it's a 60-homer pace per 162 games, if you're into stuff like that.

Great to see this trend after Spencer Schwellenbach had just 22 strikeouts in the 29.2 innings (5 starts) prior to the last two outings.
