Braves Take Series vs Guardians, Create a Rotation Spot for Didier Fuentes? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

The Braves win their series against the Guardians with a dominant finale, improving to the only MLB team yet to lose a series, while their season pitching metrics remain among the league’s best even though the offense drove this particular series win. Lindsay Crosby breaks down the three games, including Bryce Elder’s quick hook, Chris Sale’s traffic-filled outing, and Atlanta’s feast-or-famine offense. The episode tried to figure out why Atlanta DFA’d Martin Perez instead of Jose Suarez, focusing on waiver likelihood, stuff/projections, and roster flexibility, and how the move could clear a path to recall Didier Fuentes before option timing becomes an issue. It also outlines upcoming rotation scenarios with an off day and previews the Marlins series, noting Miami’s contact, speed, and one-run-game success, plus matchups featuring Eury Perez, Max Meyer, and Chris Paddack.
