Braves Scratch Reynaldo López, Martín Pérez Starts Against the Nationals
Reynaldo López was scratched 30 minutes before first pitch because of left knee inflammation, and Martin Pérez replaced him as the Braves’ starter.
- On Saturday, the Atlanta Braves scratched RHP Reynaldo López from his start against the Nationals due to left knee inflammation, announcing the change just 35 minutes before first pitch.
- LHP Martín Pérez replaced López in the rotation, forcing the Nationals to adjust their lineup; Pérez was originally scheduled to start on Sunday with a 3.49 ERA.
- Following a 2025 campaign limited to five innings, López has dealt with recurring injuries this season, though he threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings against the Baltimore Orioles on July 26.
- The injury raises concerns López could face an IL stint, exacerbating the Braves' existing need for starting pitching depth, though no immediate roster moves have been confirmed.
- With Triple-A Gwinnett starter JR Ritchie also recently scratched, speculation grows regarding potential call-ups as the Braves look to secure victory in their four-game series against the Nationals.
