Battery Power TV: Atlanta Braves’ starting lineup has become one of the best in Major League Baseball

With the offense still looking for consistency, the Atlanta Braves pitching staff has stepped up and carried the club over the past month.

Max Fried and Chris Sale formed a dominant lefty duo and reestablished themselves in 2024 while Reynaldo Lopez was terrific in his return to the rotation alongside veteran Charlie Morton. Could AJ Smith-Shawver be the missing piece in this group?

Meanwhile, the Braves would love to finally get Austin Riley back after nearly two weeks out due to a secondary issue. Sean Murphy is blasting homers during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett and could return to a big league club soon after two months on the IL. The Braves will look to maintain momentum following a series win over the Chicago Cubs as they travel to Pittsburgh for a three-game weekend series with the Pirates.
