Here is what is said
Here are some braves notes from the front office:
Austin Riley is hurt and the MRI is today. Thought to be very serious. Expect something within the next day or two.
Luke Jackson is not comfortable in the 9th inning. Prefers middle relief.
Braves have had discussions to bring Donaldson back, but do not believe they will be able to because of how thin 3B market is.
Braves have 28-32 million AAV to spend next year.
AA had discussions with Blue Jays about Aaron Sanchez and Stroman. AA offered Blue Jays what he thought was an overpay and Jays still declined. Didn’t bother making another counter offer.
Marlins asked for Pache, Riley, and Anderson in any deal for Realmuto. Braves thought they would be able to resign Realmuto.
AA doesn’t want to give up big prospects unless he feels he can resign any player.
Braves has discussions for Greinke but we’re just checking in. Diamondbacks were only willing to eat 8 million a year with the Braves and still were not close. Deal with Astros came out of nowhere.
A lot of teams called about Luke Jackson but AA is very high on him and his league minimum he is making.
Expect Culbertson to get more starts at SS
Dansby’s heel is not progressing. Expect him to be back late August or early September.
Mods if you need any verification DM me, but I think once you see Riley’s injury announced I speak for myself. Feel free to believe me or don’t.

MLB still shows a Braves challenge.

Dammit. Let's shut it down here, Max. No more runs.

Not sure I'd take Fried out yet, but i can't argue against not pushing him in a high-leverage situation.
And here's Jackson in his preferred role of middle relief.

Take it with a grain of salt, but a guy on Reddit says he's hurt: https://www.reddit.com/r/Braves/comments/cn8k46/braves_front_office_notes/
According to a Reddit mod, the guy who posted this is in the Braves organization. Also, Swanson may be out later, he said.

Another rbi-single. 7-2.
Really need to get this last damn out.

one hitter too late...but not bad
This game is a perfect example of why I think Fried would be a great option to pair with Newk in a opener type game in the playoffs especially vs the Dodgers.
Get 6 innings out of that pair and make it a bullpen game the rest of the way.
Between them, Soroka, and DK we should have a solid 3 man rotation with Julio as the fourth when you need him.

Still leaves open the issue of playing Carmargo at third and going with Donaldson as DH.
