The Atlanta Braves

MLBTR

After coming off of the injured list to start yesterday, Nationals ace Max Scherzer woke up with renewed stiffness in his back, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports. It is not clear at this point whether he’ll skip his next scheduled start and/or require a return trip to the 10-day IL.

An MRI taken this morning revealed a mild rhomboid strain. That’s a different issue in the same area of the upper back/shoulder. Scherzer had previously been dealing with an inflamed bursa sac in the vicinity of his shoulder blade. To treat the new problem, Scherzer has undergone a stem-cell injection. His response to that will be assessed in a few days.

Scherzer is scheduled to pitch the Tues game vs Braves and Teheran
 
I didn’t realize Puig has been so hot since the start of June, he’s approaching a career high in homers already and raised his OPS 200 points in that timeframe.

Imagine pulling out OPS+ as your go-to stat. I’m going to bed

Braves beat writers LOOOVVVEEEE defending Nick Markakis it’s so funny lol.

(BTW it sucks what happened to Markakis and I don’t wish that at all, but he’s an average baseball player at best)
