(05:45) Atlanta leads the NL East, but there are more contenders than expected as the Mets are over .500. (10:00) Reynaldo Lopez will face Miami on Wednesday as he is starting just once a week. He is getting extra rest after transitioning from the bullpen, where he pitched the past few years. (14:10) Travis d'Arnaud on Friday night hit a trio of homers in three straight at bats. He is the first Brave to pull off the feat since Adam Duvall did it twice in September of 2020. (26:00) Matt Olson is slumping in the first month of the season as he only has collected one it in the past six games. He is hitting .231 so far this year.
