UP NEXT:
Cubs: LHP Mike Montgomery (4-4, 3.62) is expected to be activated from the disabled list after being sidelined because of left shoulder inflammation when the Cubs visit Atlanta on Thursday. RHP Mike Foltynewicz (10-8, 2.67) pitches for the Braves.
Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (10-8, 2.67 ERA) will make his 26th start when Atlanta hosts the Cubs and LHP Mike Montgomery in Thursday's makeup game. Foltynewicz, a first-time All-Star, is 3-1 with a 1.38 ERA in five starts this month.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Atlanta RHP Mike Soroka, sidelined for 82 games with a strain and inflammation in his shoulder, will not return this season. The 21-year-old will continue to work at the team's spring training complex in Florida over the next month. A first-round draft pick in 2015, Soroka has been on the disabled list twice and last pitched June 19 at Toronto. He went 2-1 with a 3.51 ERA in five starts.
ON THE MOVE:
The Braves expect that 1B Lucas Duda, acquired in a trade with Kansas City, will likely join the team on Thursday for a home makeup game against the Chicago Cubs. ... Atlanta was assigned C Rene Rivera on waivers from the Los Angeles Angels, but he's unlikely to arrive until rosters expand Saturday.

Hi all. I see we won 2 of 3 while I was gone and the offense is picking it up. That's a good sign heading into September with the tough schedule. Gotta take care of business tonight and against the Bucs this weekend so we have a little leeway with that tough schedule
GO BRAVES!

Looks like tonight might be the first of four Braves games I've gone to this season where the game doesn't get postponed or start in a rain delay.
(that's your cue, clouds)

I hate that for Soroka, but it's wise to let him rest and heal.

(that's your cue, clouds) I'm going again this weekend because of a previous game that was rained out, and the forecast is for rain again. That will be so far I've had 3 rain delays one of which turned into a rainout, and 4 no rain issues. We'll see how it goes this time.

Well he knows the Cubs so well having come from the central division. It worked really well when we used him against Pittsburgh.... oh wait.

I noticed that Dansby is sandwiched right between 3 automatic outs, Albies, Duvall and Folty.

Acuna, thinks he's Albies and gets thrown out at 2nd by 10 feet.
