The Braves beat the Cubs 5-2 despite a short, uneven start from Grant Holmes, thanks to bulk innings from Didier Fuentes and late shutdown work from Dylan Lee and Raisel Iglesias. The bigger news: catcher Sean Murphy fractured his left middle finger on catcher’s interference and is expected to miss at least eight weeks. Atlanta signs Sandy León to back up Drake Baldwin while monitoring other catching options. The Braves also plan to navigate 13 straight games without an off day using a temporary six-man rotation, with upcoming matchups including Shōta Imanaga vs. JR Ritchie.
