The Atlanta Braves took a significant step toward turning their season around by sweeping the New York Mets only to stumble in a series loss to the Miami Marlins over the weekend and receive crushing injury news on ace Chris Sale. With another showdown with the Mets beginning Monday and a series with the Philadelphia Phillies to follow, can the Braves rise to the occasion? Grant McAuley discusses the week that was and the pivotal week ahead, Sale's injury prognosis, and where the rotation goes from here. Meanwhile, Ronald Acuña Jr.'s transcendent play has not been enough to spark an Atlanta lineup with too many holes. Can Jurickson Profar's return help turn things around? The Braves bullpen is still a work in progress, but has been through its fair share of challenges in 2025. Relievers Pierce Johnson and Dylan Dodd share some insights in this week's conversations from the clubhouse.
