Either way, the Braves are looking in good shape to make the MLB playoffs and win the NL East.
In a sudden piece of roster news, the Braves have made a decision regarding recently cut player Bailey Falter .

The Atlanta Braves transactions tracker reflects the roster news of pitcher Bailey Falter being outrighted to the minors:
"Atlanta Braves sent LHP Bailey Falter outright to Gwinnett Stripers."
The Braves traded for Bailey Falter in August in a deal that sent Lane Thomas to Atlanta as well, but Falter's time with the Braves MLB club was very short-lived.
He had his contract selected on September 9, then was DFA'd on Monday (9/14), and now he heads back to the minors on an outright assignment.
Falter pitched 3.1 scoreless innings for the Braves this season over two appearances, but was scrubbed from the 40-man roster after the outing.
