Show notes

It's all coming down to the final two weeks for the Atlanta Braves, who are in search of their fifth National League East crown in as many years. Standing in their way, the first place New York Mets. Grant McAuley and Caleb Johnson size up a week of ups and down for the Braves, who are now dealing with one of their biggest foes so far this season: Injuries. Ozzie Albies was lost for the remainder of the season, now Spencer Strider joins him on the injured list and faces the specter of an oblique injury that could curtail his postseason plans and the plans Atlanta had for him. Ronald Acuña Jr. has dealt with lingering knee issues, but now a back ailment has forced him from the lineup. Amidst those setbacks, the Atlanta offense has stalled out in September and is looking to get back on track, with Matt Olson facing a month-long slump that has shown little signs of letting up. The Braves are hoping to get things turned around in time to wrench the division away from the Mets in a three-game series to close September. We'll cover all of that plus a look ahead for the Braves and a trip around the big leagues on this edition of From The Diamond.
