Braves face pitching challenges as top prospects debut.
TL;DR Summary
Injuries to pitchers continue to plague the early season, with Braves starters Kyle Wright and Max Fried expected to miss at least two months. However, the Marlins are calling up top pitching prospect Eury Perez from Double-A to start on Friday against the Reds. The 20-year-old measures in at 6-foot-8, 220 pounds and has a high-90s fastball, a hard slider, a slower curveball, and a firm changeup. In bullpen news, Jose Alvarado was placed on the IL with elbow inflammation, and Liam Hendriks has at least three rehab outings left. Corey Seager is expected to return "early" during the Ranger's upcoming homestand, which begins May 15.
