\u2014 Atlanta Braves (@Braves) June 21, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

This is just another gut punch for a Braves team that has experienced a season full of them. Atlanta enters play on Saturday at 34-40 and as one of the most disappointing teams in baseball this season. They’ve already lost Reynaldo Lopez, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider at various points this season.<\/p>\n

As for Sale, he’s in the midst of another spectacular season. Now 36, he’s gone 5-4 with a 2.52 ERA, striking out 114 batters in 89.1 innings. He’s in line for another All-Star Game appearance if he’s healthy enough to appear in the game, which is being played in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

A 15-year veteran of the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red sox and Braves, Sale is an eight-time All-Star, a Gold Glover and a Cy Young winner. He’s gone 143-87 for his career, and he helped the Red Sox win the 2018 World Series. He has eight seasons of double-digit wins under his belt.<\/p>\n

As for the Braves, they’ll be back in action on Saturday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET as right-hander Grant Holmes (ATL) pitches against youngster Eury Perez (MIA).<\/p>\n

Holmes is 3-6 on the year with a 3.97 ERA, and has done a nice job filling in in the rotation. Perez is 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA since returning from Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n
