Braves' Yonny Chirinos: Season-high five strikeouts in win
Chirinos (1-0) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over five innings against the Angels while striking out five.
After striking out Shohei Ohtani to open the bottom of the fourth, Chirinos allowed a single and a walk to the next two batters, which would eventually lead to the Angels' first run coming home. The right-hander was then relieved by Michael Tonkin in the sixth after allowing back-to-back to singles to open the frame, but not before racking up a season-high five strikeouts on the afternoon. It marked Chirinos' first win with his new club, though he's now given three or more runs in each of his last three starts.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers, scores four times in win
Acuna went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and four runs scored in Wednesday's 12-5 victory over the Angels.
Acuna launched a 420-foot home run off Lucas Giolito in the bottom of the third, scoring Orlando Arcia and Michael Harris to give Atlanta an early 3-0 lead. The superstar outfielder then proceeded to get on base and score in each of his next three at-bats, coming across home plate a season-high four times in the contest. He's now recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games, scoring nine runs over that stretch to go along with six RBI.

Braves' Charlie Culberson: Remains in organization
Culberson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old was designated for assignment Monday but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. Culberson has played in just one big-league game this year and has a .489 OPS in 24 contests at Triple-A.

Braves' Ben Heller: Returns to Triple-A
Heller was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after Wednesday's win over the Angels.
The right-hander has been up with the big club since mid-June and posted a 4.40 ERA in 16 outings, but he'll head back to the minors with Max Fried (forearm) set to return from the injured list Friday. Heller could rejoin the major-league bullpen when Atlanta requires a fresh arm.

Braves' Max Fried: Set for Friday return
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Fried (forearm) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Atlanta has officially confirmed only Bryce Elder (Saturday) and Charlie Morton (Sunday) as its starters for the three-game set in Chicago, but barring a late setback while working out over the next couple of days, Fried is lined up to take the hill for the series opener. Fried, who has been on the shelf since May 9 with a left forearm strain, most recently made the fourth start of his rehab assignment last Saturday with Triple-A Gwinnett. He covered 4.1 innings and tossed 79 pitches in that outing, so Fried should be capable of giving Atlanta something close to a full workload in his return to the big leagues.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Sitting Wednesday
Murphy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud have now alternated turns behind the dish over the last six games, with both backstops making three starts apiece. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker has opted for the timeshare arrangement, with Murphy getting off to a slow start to the second half, as the 28-year-old is mired in a 4-for-41 slump at the dish since the All-Star break. Once Murphy breaks out of his funk, he'll likely take back the lion's share of the starts at catcher.

Braves' Daysbel Hernandez: Shelved with forearm inflammation
Atlanta placed Hernandez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right forearm inflammation.
Hernandez's move to the IL clears a spot on the 26-man active roster for left-hander Brad Hand, whom Atlanta acquired from Colorado on Tuesday. After receiving his first call-up to the big leagues July 23, Hernandez gave up three earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings across his four relief appearances for Atlanta before hitting the shelf.

Braves' Orlando Arcia: Belts 11th homer
Arcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Angels.
The bottom of the order did most of the damage for Atlanta, as No. 8 hitter Arcia lofted a Jacob Webb fastball over the fence in left-center field in the seventh inning, sandwiched between two solo shots by No. 9 hitter Michael Harris in the fifth and seventh. Arcia has caught fire again since the All-Star break, slashing .302/.362/.566 over the last 16 games with four of his 11 homers on the season.

Braves' Michael Harris: Goes yard twice in win
Harris went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Angels.
He broke open a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the fifth inning by taking Patrick Sandoval deep, the center fielder's first long ball in almost a month and the first homer the Angels hurler had served up to a left-handed hitter in nearly two years. Harris then drove a Jacob Webb sweeper to straightaway center in the seventh to cap the scoring for Atlanta. Despite the power outage, Harris has stayed productive since the beginning of July, slashing .304/.345/.544 in his last 24 games with four homers, four steals, eight RBI and 11 runs.

Braves' Spencer Strider: Makes history again
Strider (12-3) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings in a 5-1 victory over the Angels. He struck out nine.
The right-hander came just short of his fifth straight start with double-digit strikeouts, but by fanning Shohei Ohtani in the first inning, Strider became the fastest pitcher in MLB history to 200 Ks in a season by doing it in just 123.1 innings. He broke the record held by... himself, as he needed 130 innings to whiff his first 200 batters as a rookie in 2022. Since battling through a couple rough outings in early June, Strider has posted a 2.82 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and stunning 81:8 K:BB through 51 innings over his last eight starts. He's next set to take the mound early next week in Pittsburgh.

Braves' Eddie Rosario: Sitting against lefty
Rosario is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.
Kevin Pillar will cover left field and bat seventh as the NL East leaders face off against southpaw Patrick Sandoval. The left-handed-hitting Rosario has gone 0-for-7 with four strikeouts and no walks over his last two games.

Braves' Brad Hand: Shipped to Atlanta
The Rockies traded Hand to Atlanta on Tuesday in exchange for Alec Barger, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Hand is not all that far removed from fantasy relevance -- he was an All-Star closer with San Diego and Cleveland from 2017-19 -- but he didn't earn a single save during his time with Colorado. The 33-year-old can still get lefties out (.143/.276/.204 vs. LHH this season) and he provides Atlanta with a second southpaw in the bullpen behind A.J. Minter.

Braves' Sam Hilliard: Begins rehab assignment
Hilliard (heel) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Sidelined since July 18 with a heel contusion, Hilliard's playing time had run dry anyway, as his last hit came on May 5, and he had logged just eight at-bats while appearing in 16 games, primarily as a defensive replacement, since then. Once healthy, Hilliard should resume his small supporting role.

Braves' Matt Olson: Remains scorching hot Monday
Olson went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a loss to the Angels on Monday.
Olson reached in all four of his plate appearances and was the only Atlanta hitter to get on base more than once in the contest. The first baseman also plated his team's only run with a solo shot in the fifth inning. Olson has gone deep four times in his past four games, going 7-for-14 with nine RBI over that span.
