Makes perfect sense to have him skip a start to make certain the blister doesn't become a recurring issue. Bonus is he gets a mini breather immediately after having a breather at th AS break. Downside is our second best starter is getting skipped.
Well I wouldn’t say second best starter. Maybe/probably 3rd best.

Well I don’t know about that. I mean Teheran’s been surviving out there but Fried has produced twice the fWAR of Teheran. Also to put it in perspective Teheran is still producing the same fWAR as Gausman who’s had a brutal year but in 42 more innings pitched. There’s a reason the Braves aren’t talking about him as part of their post-season plans
Teheran results minus a few games speak for themselves. Most impressive being the games vs Miami where he kept them scoreless giving us a chance to pull out rare 1-0 wins. Fried on the other hand struggled back-to-back against Miami including his loss before the All-Star break. It was good to see Fried finally have a good game last night, even if only for 5 innings. He has looked good vs the Brewers this year.
Teheran's facing off vs the best in the playoffs is another story. But he has been solid in 13 of his 20 starts so far this year.
