Move to IL official The Braves placed Adams (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Busy night in long relief Beeks was credited with a hold in a win over the Braves on Monday, recording seven strikeouts but also allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and a wild pitch over three i...

Impact The left-hander kept things interesting during his rollercoaster of a multi-inning appearance. Beeks' outstanding swing-and-miss stuff was partly offset by a mistake pitch to Matt Adams, which the veteran laced 355 feet for a three-run home run in the sixth inning. Otherwise, the 27-year-old did fill his long-relief role well and has opened the season with a stellar 12:0 K:BB over five innings across two appearances.

Connects on first homer Adams went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays.

Adams has gotten a surprising amount of playing time after being picked up by the team just before Opening Day, starting three of the first four games and going 3-for-13.

Makes impact in MLB debut Contreras laced an RBI double off Hunter Strickland in the 10th inning of Saturday's win over the Mets.

Impact After Matt Adams pinch hit for Alex Jackson in the eighth inning, the 22-year-old Contreras made his big-league debut behind the plate, and when he made his first trip to the plate two innings later, he made it count. Contreras remains Atlanta's catcher of the future, but his time in the majors this season will likely come to an end once Tyler Flowers and Travis d'Arnaud come off the COVID-19 list.
