Atlanta Braves News

Joey Wentz - Awaiting MRI results Atlanta hopes to know the results of an MRI on Wentz's right knee Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wentz sustained an injury to his knee during Grapefruit League play Sunday versus the Rays following a collision near first base. The initial prognosis pointed to him avoiding a serious injury, but more will be known once the imaging results are in. Wentz is competing for a spot in Atlanta's rotation.

Joey Wentz - Injures knee Sunday Wentz was removed from his Grapefruit League appearance Sunday against the Rays in the fifth inning due to an apparent right knee injury, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constit...

Impact Wentz recorded two outs and was charged with one earned run on two hits before departing from the game following a collision near first base with a Rays player. According to Bishop, Wentz was carted off the field, though on a more promising note, the southpaw was able to walk into the clubhouse without assistance. Wentz can be considered day-to-day before Atlanta provides an update on his diagnosis, but a potential absence of any length of time would represent yet another blow to a rotation that has already lost Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) and Hurston Waldrep (elbow) to long-term injuries this spring.

Didier Fuentes - Dominant in relief outing Fuentes struck out four over two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.

Impact A hit by pitch produced the only baserunner against Fuentes, who fired 15 of 25 pitches for strikes in a dominant performance. However, the 20-year-old right-hander didn't enter the game until the sixth inning, and the most notable batter he faced might have been Sam Huff. Fuentes is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Gwinnett, but after making his big-league debut under emergency circumstances last year, he might be just one or two more injuries away from getting the call again given the hits Atlanta has already taken to its rotation depth.

Grant Holmes - Struggles with control Saturday Holmes gave up two hits and three walks over 2.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. He struck out three.

Impact Facing a mostly young split-squad Baltimore lineup that included Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers, Holmes built up to 58 pitches, but only 31 of them were strikes. The 29-year-old right-hander sports a 7:5 K:BB through 7.1 spring innings, and while he hasn't given up a run yet, Holmes' inability to find the strike zone consistently is a little worrying for an Atlanta rotation that can't afford any more attrition with Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow), Hurston Waldrep (elbow) and AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) all set to miss significant time.

Ozzie Albies - Makes WBC history Saturday Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Team Netherlands' 4-3 win over Team Nicaragua in the World Baseball Classic on Saturday.

Impact With the Netherlands down to its last out, Albies took Angel Obando deep for a three-run shot -- the first walkoff homer in WBC history. The 29-year-old second baseman has two 30-homer campaigns on his MLB resume, but he's coming off a down 2025 in which he slashed .240/.306/.365 with 16 home runs and 14 steals in 157 games.

Didier Fuentes - Scheduled to pitch Saturday Fuentes (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch in Saturday's Grapefruit league game against the Orioles, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Fuentes ended the 2025 season on the 7-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. He appeared in 13 games between three levels in the minors last year and finished with a 1-7 record with a 3.73 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 71:16 K:BB across 57 innings. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Fuentes will likely open the 2026 season in Triple-A but should get some turns in Atlanta's rotation, given that he started in four games for the parent club in 2025.
