Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's win over the Astros.
Arcia's put together seven multi-hit games thus far; however, it took the shortstop 16 games to notch his first long ball of the season. Despite the lack of home-run production, Arcia has still been putting up solid power numbers. He's generated seven doubles and boasts a .544 slugging percentage which, as it stands, would be a career high.

Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Halts comeback with one-out save
Rotowire
Iglesias earned the save Tuesday, retiring the only batter he faced via a groundout.
Iglesias was forced to take the mound Tuesday after Aaron Bummer gave up a pair of runs in the ninth. Despite owning a four-run lead with two outs in the final frame, Atlanta decided to play it safe and turn the ball over to Iglesias, who promptly forced Victor Caratini to ground into a fielder's choice. Iglesias is now 4-for-4 in save opportunities and is tied for the fifth-most saves in the National League.

Braves' Reynaldo Lopez: Spins six scoreless
Rotowire
Lopez (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing four hits and a walk over six scoreless innings against the Astros. He struck out seven.
Lopez continued his excellent start to 2024, generating his third straight quality start and extending his scoreless inning streak to 12. The veteran righty has been a pleasant surprise for Atlanta and fantasy managers who took a gamble on him after starting just one game in the past two seasons, delivering an 18:6 K:BB over 18.0 innings with merely one run allowed through three outings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins on Monday.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Multi-week absence expected
Rotowire
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker indicated Tuesday that Albies (toe) won't require surgery but could be sidelined 2-to-3 weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Snitker didn't offer an official return timetable for the All-Star second baseman's return from a fractured great toe, but it doesn't appear as though Albies is looking at an extended absence. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Albies was in a great deal of pain after he suffered the injury Monday and is now sporting a protective walking boot.

Braves' Luis Guillorme: Starting for Albies
Rotowire
Guillorme is starting at second base and batting eighth Tuesday against the Astros.
The 29-year-old saw his first plate appearances of the season Monday, going 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, and is now poised for more playing time after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the injured list Tuesday. Guillorme could fill the large side of a platoon at second base along with David Fletcher, who replaced Albies on the major-league roster.

Braves' Michael Harris: Up to two spot with Albies out
Rotowire
Harris will start in center field and bat second for Atlanta in Tuesday's game in Houston.
With Ozzie Albies (toe) slated to miss some time, Harris figures to occupy the two hole in the Atlanta lineup indefinitely. It's a nice boost for his immediate fantasy outlook, as Tuesday is the first time this season he's batted higher than sixth. Harris is slashing .290/.333/.468 with two homers and one stolen base so far in 2024.

Braves' David Fletcher: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
Atlanta selected Fletcher's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old was unable to secure a place on Atlanta's Opening Day roster but will join the big club with Ozzie Albies headed to the injured list with a toe fracture. Fletcher could fill the small side of a platoon at second base with Luis Guillorme while Albies is sidelined.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Out with fractured toe
Rotowire
Atlanta placed Albies on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right great toe.
Albies suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch Monday against the Astros, though he never exited the contest. The 27-year-old will now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, but the absence could be longer depending how the toe heals. Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher, who was added to the major-league roster Tuesday, are likely to see time at second base while Albies is out.

Braves' Luis Guillorme: Gets rare start Monday
Rotowire
Guillorme went 1-for-3 in Monday's win over the Astros.
Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, the veteran utility player saw his first plate appearances of the season and recorded his first hit. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker doesn't tend to give his starters many rest days, so Guillorme's playing time figures to be limited all season; however, he could see additional action this week after Ozzie Albies (toe) was seen limping in the locker room after Monday's contest.

Braves' Aaron Bummer: Nabs win Monday
Rotowire
Bummer (1-1) was credited with the win Monday against the Astros, giving up one hit in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.
The left-hander got the final out of the fifth inning after relieving Darius Vines, and the official scorer elected to give Bummer the win. It's the earliest in a game he's pitched so far this season, but Bummer has been deployed anywhere from the fifth to the ninth inning as a utility arm in the Atlanta bullpen. Through six innings and seven appearances, he's posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB with zero holds or saves.

Braves' Owen Murphy: Impressive start to season
Rotowire
Murphy has posted a 0.75 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through two starts and 12 innings for High-A Rome to begin the season.
A first-round pick out of high school in 2022, Murphy struggled with his consistency during his first full pro season last year, but the early returns are very encouraging in 2024. The right-hander profiled as a potential back-of-the-rotation arm when he was drafted, with a solid four-pitch mix that lacked any plus offerings, but Atlanta may have been able to unlock something more in the 20-year-old.

Braves' J.P. Martinez: Making noise at Triple-A
Rotowire
Martinez is slashing .340/.421/.580 through 13 games for Triple-A Gwinnett with two homers and seven steals in nine attempts.
The 28-year-old has also shown improved command of the strike zone with a 5:8 BB:K. Martinez fell short in his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he looks more than ready to step in should an injury hit the Atlanta outfield.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Could sit out with sore toe
Rotowire
Albies might be held out of Tuesday's lineup after being hit on the toe by a pitch Monday in Houston, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Albies finished Monday's game but was limping noticeably after the contest and had his foot examined. While he looks to have avoided a serious injury, Albies' status for Tuesday will be determined when he gets to the ballpark and is checked out. If Albies is not able to go Tuesday, Luis Guillorme would likely fill in at second base.
Murphy (oblique) has started light throwing but has yet to be cleared to run or swing a bat, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Murphy's progress from a Grade 1 left oblique strain has been slow, but he's starting to ramp up his activity level a bit. He is not close to beginning a rehab assignment, however, so a return before the end April might not happen. Travis d'Arnaud will continue to be Atlanta's primary catcher while Murphy recuperates.
Vines allowed one run on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out four in the win over Houston.
Vines was tagged with a run in the first inning but was able to settle in and put together a decent performance. He threw 46 of 80 pitches for strikes, including nine whiffs. It was Vines' first MLB appearance since Sep. 27 of last season. The 25-year-old likely pitched well enough to earn another turn in the rotation, but Atlanta's long-term plan to replace Spencer Strider (elbow) remains unclear for now.

Braves' Adam Duvall: Swats first homer of year
Rotowire
Duvall went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.
The veteran slugger took Jesus Luzardo deep in the fourth inning. Duvall has mainly been limited to a short-side platoon role to begin the season, splitting starts in left field with Jarred Kelenic, and through seven games he's batting .250 (6-for-24) with a double, a homer, three runs and six RBI.
