#Braves' Ozuna is 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts tonight, average down to .232 and OPS at .742. He was batting .284 with a .901 OPS after going 2-for-4 with a homer on June 1. He's 22-for-138 (.159) with 3 HRs, 17 walks and 38 Ks since then.

#Braves bullpen was having a great night until Raisel Iglesias entered to start the 9th and gave up the tying run. Headed to the 10th, 5-5.

The Marlins won their 50th game today. They’ve won 20 of their last 28, sit just 3 games below .500 and are 4 1/2 games out of a playoff spot — the same deficit as the Diamondbacks. A truly remarkable run.

Snitker said #Braves' Grant Holmes had elbow tightness and will go on the IL and get checked out. He joins starters Sale, Schwellenbach, López and Smith-Shawver on the IL. What a season for Atlanta. Whew.

Spencer Strider was on the IL when the season began, which means the #Braves’ entire Opening Day rotation is now on the IL: Sale López Schwellenbach Smith-Shawver Holmes All of them on the IL together.

#Braves placed RHP Grant Holmes on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation, after he felt tightness during his start Saturday night at Texas. RHP Daysbel Hernández was recalled.

#Braves lost 8-1 at Texas and were swept in the series. Atlanta has dropped seven of eight and allowed at least eight runs five times in that span. The Braves are a season-high 16 games under .500 (44-60).

#Braves got Erick Fedde (DFA'd by Cardinals last week) plus cash in trade from St. Louis, nothing in return. Holmes transferred to 60-day IL, meaning his season is over. He'll consult with doctors over results of tests, which have not been announced. But he's done for season.

#Braves trade for Cardinals' Erick Fedde as they try to plug holes in injury-riddled pitching staff; Grant Holmes moved to 60-day IL (elbow), so his season's over. nytimes.com/athletic/65190…
