Pérez Injury Threatens Braves Rotation | Atlanta Braves News

Braves pitcher Martín Pérez is likely headed to the injured list after taking a brutal line drive to his throwing arm during a game against the Mets, forcing him to miss his next start. Though X-rays showed no fractures, further tests loom, and manager Walt Weiss confirmed the injury’s severity. Pérez’s rough outing—six hits, five runs, two walks—was already troubling, but the arm injury adds urgency. With the Braves already running a six-man rotation and a thin seven-reliever bullpen, moving Pérez to the IL could unlock a crucial eighth arm, giving Atlanta more depth as they chase their division lead. The team’s next moves hinge entirely on how long Pérez’s recovery takes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
