Current record 8-13, 5th place in the NL East
--The Braves have been a product of bad luck so far, with a plus run differential and a Pythagorean record of 11-10. The currently lead the NL in runs scored led by Ozzie Albies (.348/.410/.517), Ezequiel Carrera (.406 BA), and Nick Markakis (.329 BA). However, the pitching has been rough and the bullpen has been a disaster - ranking dead last in the NL with a 5.27 ERA. Ronald Acuna has been struggling in AAA with a mere .718 OPS, but he's got plenty of time to turn it around. With Carrera playing well, he is expected to stay in the minors a little bit longer in order to find his stroke.

Other notables:

April 4th: Lucas Sims pitches remarkably in Teheran's absence (8.1 IP, 0 ER, W). He will be demoted and likely re-promoted after he regains his stamina. Dan Winkler is recalled from AAA.

April 7th: Johan Camargo is activated from the DL. Christian Colon is DFA'd in order to make room.

April 12th: Struggling Rex Brothers (12.00 ERA) is demoted to AAA. Lucas Sims is recalled from Gwinnett.

April 16: Anibal Sanchez sustains a wrist injury after taking a swing in batting practice. It is not considered serious and he will be placed on the 10-day DL. Lucas Sims is slotted into the rotation and Shane Carle is promoted from Gwinnett.

Around the League:
-Joe Mauer notches his 2,000th hit
-Bartolo Colon promptly retires
-Stephen Strasburg sustains a season-ending injury (radial nerve decompression surgery)
