It makes sense given the short turnaround between tonight’s 8-6 win for the Braves over the Nationals and Thursday afternoon’s Getaway Day game to end the series. We already got the huge news that consensus Top 100 prospect JR Ritchie would be called up to start Thursday’s game and now we’ve got a little more news to coincide with the big move. Sadly, Dylan Dodd’s latest stint is coming to a close as he’ll be heading to the IL. In his place, the Braves will be bringing back Carlos Carrasco. Mark Bowman of MLB.com was the one who reported this news initially. Dodd ended up making two appearances for the Braves in his latest stint, where he pitched four innings and only gave up a run. He looked fine against the Nationals on Tuesday night so I’m guessing that this probably started acting up on him overnight or right after he got done pitching on Tuesday. Either way, the Braves will have to do without him for the time being. This current Braves squad has put a premium on long relief and the hope is that Carlos Carrasco can provide any type of value once called upon. The good news is that he pitched six scoreless innings in his most recent start for Triple-A Gwinnett and he’s looked decent at that level so far. With that being said, we all know that there’s a pretty big difference between what you see at that level and what you see in the bigs and for Carrasco, he’s had a rough go of it in the bigs for the past three seasons. As long as Carrasco can eat innings when called upon, that’ll probably be all the Braves ask of him in this coming stint. We’ll see what happens!
