The Braves, facing multiple injuries to their pitching rotation, are investigating their organizational pitching options. After extensive use of relievers in past games, they need effective performances to address their current pitching challenges. Cardinals pitcher Erick Fedde has had underwhelming stats this season, with a deteriorating pitch effectiveness noted. The Braves' offense, recently showcasing power especially from Sean Murphy, will be pivotal. The condition of Austin Riley and designated hitter roles are also crucial as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Cardinals.
With injuries to their pitching rotation, the Braves are examining their organizational pitching depth, having utilized five relief pitchers in recent games.
Erick Fedde, starting for the Cardinals, has posted a 5.31 xFIP and 4.76 FIP, showing a significant drop in pitch effectiveness compared to last year.
Both teams’ starting pitchers are vulnerable, making offensive performance crucial, particularly from players like Sean Murphy, while Austin Riley's health also remains a key factor.
Manager Snitker's recent strategy has allowed both catchers to hit in the same game, raising questions about designated hitter assignments, particularly given Ozuna's struggles.
