The Atlanta Braves will send right-hander Grant Holmes to the mound on Sunday afternoon in an effort to sweep their three-game series with the visiting Colorado Rockies.

Atlanta Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos has a lot to consider ahead of this year's trade deadline. Recent reporting from Bob Nightengale provides a better idea of what the team's plans are.

The Atlanta Braves came into the regular season hoping to be World Series contenders as one of the best teams in the National League. However, Atlanta enters MLB games today well below the .500 mark with all eyes on the club more than a month out from the MLB trade deadline.

The Braves beat the Colorado Rockies on Saturday behind a dominant 13-strikeout performance from Spencer Strider.

Grant Holmes believed he was on the verge of a game to remember when the Atlanta right-hander reached 10 strikeouts for the first time in his career — and it was only the fifth inning.

The Atlanta Braves are in one of the more interesting spots of any team in the league, making their trade deadline plans unpredictable.

Arcia returned to his former home Friday, now a member of the Colorado Rockies, and was penciled in to start at shortstop and hit seventh in the series opener against Atlanta.

Kimbrel signed a minor-league deal on March 18 with the Braves, his original Major League team. Atlanta added Kimbrel to its 40-man roster on Friday, and he pitched a scoreless inning in a 5-4, 10-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants.

The Braves are struggling this year, but that does not mean they should become sellers at the MLB trade deadline.

According to The Athletic MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, the Braves recalled relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel from AAA Gwinnett.
