Early Sunday morning, the team announced that Grant Holmes had been placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. With Holmes sidelined, every member of the Braves’ opening week rotation now occupies a spot on the injured list.

Fedde will step in as a much-needed starter who is ready to be deployed immediately. As it stands, Atlanta's starting pitchers currently on the injured list include Grant Holmes, Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, Reynaldo Lopez and AJ Smith-Shawver. All three of Holmes, Sale and Schwellenbach went down with injuries this month.

Grant Holmes has elbow tightness and will hit the IL to determine the extent of the injury. That completes the entirety of the Braves’ Opening Day rotation being on the IL. Michael Harris had a really encouraging game, but the Braves found a way to lose with some bad luck and more of the same.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Braves: Spencer Strider (4-8, 3.72 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 89 strikeouts); Royals: Richard Hill (0-1, 1.80 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, one strikeout) BETMGM SPORTSBOOK LINE: Braves -169, Royals +142; over/under is 9 1/2 runs

Atlanta Braves infielder Austin Riley is getting closer to coming back from an injury. Riley worked out on the field on Sunday.
