Meanwhile, the Braves add another starting pitcher option to the organization off the waiver wire. According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, they've claimed right-hander Cal Quantrill from the Miami Marlins. He will pitch on Saturday when the Braves take on the Mets. He takes the spot of Erick Fedde that day.

The offense has been disappointing all year. It is averaging 4.2 runs per game, which ranks in the bottom half of the league. Although former All-Stars Marcell Ozuna and Ozzie Albies have underperformed, the Braves have been hurt recently by the unavailability of Austin Riley.
