Braves Kyle Wright to Miss 2024 Season
The Braves have announced that Kyle Wright will not pitch throughout the National League Division Series or 2024 season. This is unfortunate news, as Jesse Chavez is also out for the postseason.
With a single long rehab and lengthy process, Wright will likely see redemption or his way out of Atlanta. Wright was revealed to have MRI damage on the same shoulder inflammation that caused him to miss parts of 2023, dating back to January.
Atlanta likes Chavez longevity and versatility, but without him and Wright, the Braves will hand the ball to AJ Smith-Shawver and Daysbel Hernandez. Michael Tomlin will also fill Wright’s relief role, but the major storyline is Smith-Shawver possibly receiving the ball behind All-Star Bryce Elder.
Smith-Shawver has pitched six games this season with a 4.26 ERA. He has started five of six performances and appears to possess a sharp 95+ MPH fastball. It will be interesting to see what comes out of Smith-Shawver, nonetheless.

Bryce ‘Run Through That Sign’ Harper
One word to describe Bryce Harper is emphatic. Emphatically, he brings it. Tenaciously, he runs it out like a pro, and when necessary, Harper pulls a 45 ACP in the middle of familiar showdowns of his hometown Las Vegas, and delivers. It is the bread and butter to Harper’s life achievements running the base paths.
It all started last night when third base coach Dusty Wathan tried to stop Harper from attempting home. Reminiscent of Pete Rose, Harper removed the helmet and ran blazing. Harper did not stop at the point of no return. He was legitimately gone, and Wathan was not having any of it.
Wathan could not be more glad that the Phillies scored, but waving Harper’s hopes, dignity, and integrity on the base paths proved one notion.
Harper finished with one walk and a strikeout by the Miami Marlins. At one point, Miami received an outstanding play by Jazz Chisholm to throw out Nick Castellanos.
Marlins left fielder was not enough for Harper, as he displayed how to play emphatically and tenaciously on the base paths.
