Braves Adjust, Brace for Playoff Push | Atlanta Braves News

The Braves took a tough loss to the Rays, falling further behind the Dodgers in the race for the No. 2 seed — but they’re still firmly in control of the NL East. Roster moves included calling up lefty Bailey Falter (making his debut after being traded from Kansas City) and DFAing righty Elieser Hernández, while Reynaldo López was activated only to be sent back down — a move that hinted at bigger issues ahead. The real shocker? Bryce Elder needs knee surgery, putting his season in jeopardy and casting doubt on Atlanta’s playoff momentum. With an 85-60 record and a four-game division lead, the Braves are still in great shape — even if their last ten games have been a rollercoaster. They’ve got two more against Tampa before hosting Philly this weekend, and with time still on their side, the focus is squarely on turning things around before the postseason push begins.
