López Out, Pérez Steps In | Atlanta Braves News
Description
Braves pitcher Reynaldo López was pulled from his Saturday start due to left knee discomfort felt during warm-ups, with Martín Pérez stepping in unexpectedly. López, a versatile swingman who’s had a solid season (4-3, 3.64 ERA) and recently returned to the rotation, has shown flashes of brilliance—including a scoreless five-two-thirds innings against the Orioles—despite fluctuating velocity. Manager Walt Weiss praised his resilience, noting his effectiveness doesn’t always match his pitch speed. The Braves are monitoring his knee closely without a return timeline, underscoring their commitment to his health and the depth of their pitching staff.
