The Braves beat the Marlins 8–4 behind Martín Pérez’s 10 strikeouts, but lost Drake Baldwin to the IL with a grade-one oblique strain. With Baldwin likely out weeks, Atlanta will lean on Chadwick Tromp and Sandy León while weighing Kyle Farmer as emergency catcher. The show spotlights Austin Riley’s worsening approach and production, and discusses Ha-Seong Kim’s slow offensive start and surprising defensive issues. It closes with bullpen notes, including Didier Fuentes shifting toward a traditional reliever role after roster moves.
