The Atlanta Braves are calling up JR Ritchie, a consensus top 100 prospect, to make his MLB debut as the team grapples with a pitching crisis during a 10-game stretch. Ritchie, who has shown promise in Spring Training and at the AAA level, will start in the series finale against the Washington Nationals. Recently, Didier Fuentes started a game but struggled, allowing 3 runs over 3 innings despite striking out 7 batters. To further bolster their pitching staff, the Braves are bringing in Cookie Carrasco to replace Dylan Dodd. This comes after a rough outing led to the DFA of Ian Hamilton. In other MLB news, the New York Mets snapped a 12-game losing streak with a close victory over the Minnesota Twins.
