@scottcoleman55: “Not that there was much doubt, but looking back at the play it’s pretty obvious that Drake was in some discomfort as he went down the line on the ball he lined to right in the 6th. It’s a quick cutaway but he felt something”
@CurtMWeiler: “Losing Drake Baldwin right as Ronald Acuña comes back is a cruel twist of fate for the Braves. He had been on an unbelievable run to start this season.”
@LonestarMoney: “Hopefully this is something with Baldwin that just clears itself up in 10 days”
Cory Nidoh: “That’s a huge injury for the Braves. Baldwin has been incredible this season.”
