Kyle Wright struggles, Matt Olson hits epic homer, Michael Tonkin shines in Braves win Olson's blast sailed 448 feet: "I think that’s definitely the hardest ball I’ve ever hit."
Kyle Wright - Struggles in season debut Wright struck out three and allowed four runs on four hits and four walks across seven three innings during Tuesday's 7-6 victory over the Reds. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact After rehabbing a shoulder injury, Wright made his first start of the season but struggled with his command, leading to four walks and four earned runs in the third inning before being relieved. Despite the rough outing, the 27-year-old has a track record of success, finishing last season as the MLB leader in wins. Wright will have a chance to bounce back, taking a 12.00 ERA into his next start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend against the Royals.

Travis d'Arnaud - Feeling better Tuesday Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that d'Arnaud (concussion) is "feeling better," Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.
Impact D'Arnaud was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday after suffering a concussion Saturday on a collision at home plate. There's still no timetable for his return, but he's at least making some semblance of progress. The 34-year-old had gotten off to a solid 11-for-33 (.333) start this season while playing nearly every day between designated hitter and catcher.

Max Fried - May not require rehab assignment Fried (hamstring) took part in fielding drills Tuesday and could return without making a rehab start, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Beginning fielding drills seemed to be one of the final steps for Fried before making a rehab start, but it now seems that Atlanta could get their ace back earlier than expected. The 29-year-old lefty will resume covering first base Wednesday, at which point we could receive a clearer picture regarding his return. He is eligible to come off the injured list Saturday.

Michael Soroka - Goes four strong at Triple-A Soroka (hamstring) tossed four innings of one-run ball Tuesday in his second start with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Impact Soroka scattered three hits and two walks while striking out five in the 69-pitch outing. He needed 29 pitches to get through the first inning but only 40 to cover the following three. Soroka became all the more important to Atlanta's overall pitching depth when it was announced Tuesday morning that Ian Anderson is headed for Tommy John surgery.

Impact Anderson was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Gwinnett last Tuesday after struggling in his first start there, and he has since been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The 24-year-old will be sidelined until sometime in 2024. He was excellent for Atlanta between 2020-2021 before stumbling to a 5.00 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 97:54 K:BB in 111.2 major-league innings (22 starts) last season.

Kyle Wright - Set for season debut Wright was activated from the 15-day injured list by Atlanta on Tuesday.
Impact Wright will make his season debut Tuesday night versus the Reds after rehabbing a shoulder injury. The right-hander's velocity was down during his lone rehab start and he allowed five runs over six frames, so fantasy managers might want to keep him benched for his first outing.
