The Braves just announced they have acquired OF Adam Duvall from the Reds in exchange for RHP Lucas Sims, RHP Matt Wisler and OF Preston Tucker. Lot's of POWER just acquired for the Braves.
Alex Anthopoulos says the plan is to slot Acuña over to CF when facing LHP and put Adam Duvall in LF. AA said he spoke to Inciarte tonight who completely understands and said, “I just want to make the playoffs.”

Maybe this will boost Ender's confidence too, if he starts only against righties it should increase his output. It's not good for his career, but it is what it is right now.

*** WEATHER UPDATE*** Atlanta Metro Area 1:25 PM EDT 7/31/2018
While mostly cloudy conditions exist with the SW flow at the surface and aloft, abundant moisture and instability will increase this afternoon. Expect scattered convective development to occur this afternoon and early evening as enhanced dynamics during this time favor scattered showers and thunderstorms. Mesoscale convective and severe weather analysis parameters indicate moderate to isolated strong convection this afternoon, meaning some possible hail, heavy winds, and even some rotation aloft could be observed but the chances of widespread severe weather or tornadic activity is low. Expect some heavy shower and storms this afternoon over central and northern Georgia, .5"-1" or more in some areas through 11 PM, but activity should wind down somewhat as we move into the evening hours, especially after 8/9 PM. I wouldn't rule out a few showers, even some briefly heavy, or thunderstorms in the area after 8 pm but they should become more widely scattered after that time. Most models are indicating the heaviest rainfall before 8 PM but also indicate a general .1"-25" and in a few areas up to .5" are certainly possible after 8 PM although the dynamics will be less favorable. I sense from the models and dynamics that the heavier rainfall will be to the south and east and some possibly to the NW but that doesn't preclude the Atlanta metro area from getting some heavy rainfall just that after analyzing the situation that is where heavier rainfall is more likely and widespread. Temps should be in the mid 70's and maybe cooler as we get towards the 10/11 PM hour and generally light winds 4-8 MPH blowing in from right to across from right to left at Suntrust Park. I'll keep a tab on the radar and high resolution models, especially HRRR, as we get towards game time. -PA
GO BRAVES!

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman The Braves will send three prospects to the Orioles in exchange for Gausman. Still waiting to confirm the names.

Apparently, including the injured O'Day helped lessen the inclusion of impact prospects. Nothing against the 4 going to the O's, but I don't think any of us are going to lose sleep over moving them.

(Hamstring): O'Day has been moved to the 60-day disabled list as he recovers from surgery on his left hamstring. He will miss the remainder of the 2018 season. (Updated June 30, 2018 O'Day is a strikeout relief pitcher............ www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/odayda01.shtml

Hopefully one of the minor league guys will step up.

Moylan to the DL to make room for Allard. What a shame.
