Yesterday, we learned that both Jared Shuster and Dylan Dodd will get the nod to start in the first rotation through starters, with Shuster beginning the year on the team and Dodd getting the call in the 4th game of the season. The reasoning behind Dodd’s delay is likely due to Alex Anthopoulos wanting to see an additional arm in relief as Nick Anderson was recalled today after being reassigned to AAA.

Here’s a video breakdown on our Braves Journal’s YouTube channel discussing the 2 lefties.

Braves Introduce Their Nike City Connect Uniforms

After seeing some of the atrocities from other team’s City Connect Uniforms, many of us on Twitter have been leery about what Nike would create for Atlanta, but they have outdone themselves while simultaneously honoring Hank Aaron!

With MLB only allowing 5 different uniforms for each team per season, there was talk about the retro unis having to take a year off due to the City Connect unis. Fortunately for all of us, Nike did the city a solid and listened to the heart of what makes the Braves the Braves. The City Connect merch will be available for purchase on April 1st.
