Eddie Rosario - On bench versus lefty Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
Vaughn Grissom - Getting fourth straight start Grissom will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Monday's game in San Diego.
Impact Grissom has produced hits in each of his first three starts since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. While Orlando Arcia (wrist) remains on the injured list for the foreseeable future, Grissom looks like he'll be locked in as Atlanta's full-time starter at shortstop, despite the organization's concerns about his defense.

Lucas Luetge - Hits IL with bicep injury Atlanta placed Luetge on the 15-day injured list Monday with left bicep inflammation.
Impact So long as Luetge's injury isn't anything more than the minor inflammation and he's able to resume throwing within a few days, he should be in store for a brief stint on the shelf. He had given up at least one run in all but one of his five relief appearances on the campaign, pitching to a 8.10 ERA and 1.80 WHIP across 6.2 frames.

Max Fried - Comes off IL ahead of start Atlanta reinstated Fried (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list in advance of his scheduled start Monday in San Diego.
Impact Reliever Lucas Luetge (bicep) was moved to the IL to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Fried, who returns after a near-minimum-length stay on the shelf due to a left hamstring strain. He didn't complete a minor-league rehab assignment while he was sidelined with the injury he picked up in Atlanta's March 30 season opener, but he was able to resume throwing less than a week after straining his hamstring and should be able to offer something approximating a normal workload in his return to the rotation Monday.

Ozzie Albies - Knocks third homer Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Royals.
Impact Albies launched his third home run of the season in the fourth inning, driving a pitch from Zack Greinke over the right-field fence. The 26-year-old second baseman would add a double off Scott Barlow in the ninth to collect his third multi-hit game of the year. With a .262 batting average and .279 on-base percentage, Albies has scored six runs and knocked in 11 through 65 plate appearances.

Ronald Acuña Jr. - Swipes seventh bag Acuna went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored during Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Royals.
Impact Acuna took Aroldis Champman to left field for a double in the eighth inning and immediately swiped his seventh base of the campaign. The 25-year-old phenom has reached base safely in six of his last seven games as he maintains his excellent form at the plate, slashing an impressive .373/.455/.567 with three home runs and 11 RBI through 16 games. With his dominant speed and potent hitting ability, Acuna continues to prove why he is one of the most dangerous players in the league.

A.J. Minter - Picks up third save Minter picked up the save with a scoreless ninth inning to close Sunday's victory over the Royals. He had one strikeout and didn't allow a baserunner.
Impact Minter entered the ninth inning protecting a 5-4 lead and quickly retired Matt Duffy and Nicky Lopez before striking out Bobby Witt to earn his fourth save. Minter has allowed only two runs through eight innings of relief work and has converted on three of four save opportunities this season.

Kyle Wright - Impressive in no-decision Wright did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits with three walks over 6.2 innings in the victory over the Royals. He struck out six.
Impact Wright showcased significant improvement in his second start, limiting the Royals to two runs until exiting the game in the sixth inning. Unfortunately, a two-run homer by Vinnie Pasquantino tied the game in the seventh, denying the 27-year-old his first win of the year. The right-hander's performance was an encouraging sign for the Atlanta starting rotation as he looks to return to the dominant form he displayed during the 2022 season. Wright will bring a 6.23 ERA and 1.73 WHIP into his next start, tentatively scheduled for the end of this week against Houston.

Max Fried - Rejoining rotation Monday Manager Brian Snitker announced Fried (hamstring) will come off the injured list to start Monday against the Padres, Kelly Crull of Bally Sports South reports.
Impact The left-hander has been on the shelf since he suffered the hamstring strain during his Opening Day start, and he'll rejoin Atlanta's rotation Monday without making any rehab outings. Given the lack of buildup since suffering the injury, Fried may face some workload limitations in his first couple starts.

Marcell Ozuna - Out of lineup again Sunday Ozuna is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Sean Murphy - Remains hot Saturday Murphy went 3-for-3 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two total runs and four total RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win against the Royals.
Impact Murphy and Ozzie Albies carried Atlanta's offense Saturday, recording three hits and four RBI apiece. Murphy notched all three of Atlanta's extra-base hits in the contest, including a run-scoring double in the first inning and a solo homer in the fifth.

Bryce Elder - Notches second win Elder (2-0) earned a victory over Kansas City on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings.
Impact Elder wasn't nearly as successful as in his first two outings of the campaign, when he hurled 12.1 scoreless innings. The right-hander nonetheless managed his way to a win, holding the Royals to just one run over his first four frames and departing in the sixth with a three-run lead. One of the runs charged to him came after he departed, and Elder again showed a solid arsenal in racking up 13 swinging strikes. He has forced his way into Atlanta's rotation by winning two of his first three starts while posting a 1.53 ERA over his first 17.2 frames.
