ATLANTA BRAVES NEWS

Robinson Canó - Expected to join active roster Cano is expected to be added to Atlanta's major-league roster as early as Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Cano was traded from San Diego to Atlanta on Sunday, and his new team apparently has plans for him in the big leagues. The 39-year-old has performed well at Triple-A El Paso recently, slashing .333/.375/.479 with three homers, 20 runs and 20 RBI. He should have the chance to compete with Orlando Arcia and Phil Gosselin for playing time at second base while Ozzie Albies (foot) remains sidelined.

He should report to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin his time with his new organization.

Max Fried - Listed as Monday's starter Fried (upper leg) is listed as Atlanta's probable starter for Monday's game versus the Mets, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander exited after six scoreless innings due to tightness in his right glut during his previous start Wednesday, but it appears he's had no further issues and is set to make his next turn through the rotation. Fried has been electric in his past four outings with a 1.35 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB across 26.2 innings.

Travis d'Arnaud - Resting Sunday D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact D'Arnaud will take a seat for the second time in the series, getting some extra maintenance in a day game after a night game. With a .966 OPS since June 1, d'Arnaud still appears secure as Atlanta's preferred catcher, but William Contreras -- who gets the nod behind the plate Sunday -- has proven deserving of at least a part-time role and should continue to draw a handful of starts per week at catcher or designated hitter.

A.J. Minter - Snags third save Minter saved Saturday's 4-3 win against the Nationals, allowing two hits while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Minter was called upon to protect a one-run lead and delivered, although the final out came with Josh Bell at the plate and two runners on base. Both Minter and Will Smith have picked up saves with Kenley Jansen (chest) injured and there could be a few more opportunities with Jansen set to return July 12. Minter has been excellent with a 1.70 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 37 innings across 40 appearances.

Kyle Wright - Spins quality start in win Wright (10-4) earned the win during Saturday's 4-3 victory over Washington, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven innings.

Impact Wright limited the damage to a Juan Soto solo shot through six frames but surrendered a Yadiel Hernandez home run in the seventh and walked Soto before being yanked in the eighth. Soto eventually came around to score, but Will Smith was able to keep the lead, bringing Wright into a tie for third in the majors with 10 wins. The 26-year-old was efficient in requiring only 84 pitches to surpass seven frames and induced an impressive 13 swinging strikes, though keeping 66 pitches in the strike zone led to 10 baserunners allowed. Wright is slated to take the mound in a road rematch with Washington next week.

Dansby Swanson - Three hits in Friday's rout Swanson went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Impact All three knocks were singles, something of a disappointment on a night in which Atlanta hitters piled up seven extra-base hits including four homers en route to 12 runs, but Swanson still cranked out his fourth multi-hit performance in the last eight games. The shortstop is batting .389 (14-for-36) during that surge, boosting his slash line on the season to .302/.359/.494 with 14 homers, 14 steals, 50 RBI and 52 runs through 85 contests.

Eddie Rosario - Steals first bag Rosario went 0-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Impact After beating out a potential double-play grounder in the second inning, Rosario advanced to second on a wild pitch, stole third and came around to score on a Michael Harris double. The steal was his first of the season in 20 games, but Rosario is still trying to regain his form at the plate after a lengthy layoff due to vision issues, going 3-for-16 with a solo homer and a 0:3 BB:K in five games (four starts) since being activated from the injured list.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

William Contreras - Mashes 11th homer Contreras went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Impact His third-inning shot was one of three Atlanta homers off Washington starter Erick Fedde in a 12-2 rout. Contreras has hit safely in six straight starts as he sees fairly consistent playing time between catcher and DH, and on the season the 24-year-old is slashing .266/.350/.568 with 11 homers, two steals, 22 runs and 22 RBI through 42 games.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ronald Acuña Jr. - Clubs eighth homer Acuna went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Impact His second-inning blast off Erick Fedde gave Atlanta a 6-0 lead as the team rolled to a 12-run outburst. Acuna hadn't homered since June 21, missing five games during that stretch with a foot issue, but on the season the 24-year-old is still slashing .275/.368/.440 with eight home runs, 17 steals, 22 RBI and 35 runs in 51 games.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Olson - Belts 13th homer Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Impact He took Erick Fedde deep in the first inning, kickstarting a 12-run eruption from the Atlanta offense. Olson has four multi-hit performances in the last five games, continuing a hot streak that has seen the first baseman slash .311/.366/.635 over his last 19 contests with five of his 13 homers on the season.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Harris II - Huge day against Nats Harris went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-2 rout of the Nationals.

Impact The rookie continues to hit ninth for Atlanta despite an electric start to his big-league career, but Harris is producing incredible fantasy value nonetheless. Through his first 39 games in the majors, the 21-year-old is slashing .310/.342/.542 with seven homers, six steals, 24 RBI and 28 runs, and all while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense in center field.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Charlie Morton - Fans seven in fifth win Morton (5-3) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks over seven inning in a 12-2 rout of the Nationals. He struck out seven.

Impact Aside from a two-run blast by Juan Soto in the third inning, Morton was firmly in control, firing 69 of 105 pitches for strikes before exiting. The win was his first in over a month but the veteran right-hander has been pitching like an ace again recently, reeling off four quality starts in his last five trips to the mound and missing the fifth by only one out. Over that stretch, Morton has a 1.60 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB through 33.2 innings.
