Episode Details

Reynaldo López battled through a rough outing against the Cardinals, surrendering four runs including a crushing three-run homer, but still managed five innings — a solid step forward since returning to the Braves’ rotation. With a 3.50 ERA, 15 strikeouts in 18 innings, and fastball velocity still humming over 95 mph, López is proving his value as the Braves’ rotation grapples with injuries. Young arms aren’t ready, and even returning stars like Strider and Pérez aren’t guaranteed immediate dominance. López’s growing pitch count and consistency make him indispensable — and the Braves are banking on him to keep rising, especially as the All-Star break looms and workload increases.
