Reports indicate the Braves are promoting top pitching prospect Owen Murphy, a 2022 first-rounder whose standout trait is an elite-shape four-seam fastball (high induced vertical break) that helps him miss bats in the zone and anchors a deep arsenal. The episode also breaks down Atlanta’s 10–9 loss to the Mets, explaining why Walt Weiss used Carlos Carrasco in the ninth after a rain delay, Martín Pérez’s forearm injury (X-rays negative; further imaging coming), and a short bullpen left few options. Finally, it covers A.J. Smith-Shawver’s strong rehab outing and discusses how Atlanta’s growing pool of arms could impact whether they add a starter at the deadline, while noting Casey Mize as a potential target.
