Atlanta Starter Joey Wentz Tears ACL, Out for Season; Do Braves Respond? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Host Lindsay Crosby reports that Braves pitcher Joey Wentz suffered a torn ACL after a collision covering first base in a spring game and will miss the entire season, marking another major blow in a run of Atlanta starting-pitcher injuries dating back to last year. Crosby notes Wentz was projected for meaningful innings and had made offseason adjustments, making the loss significant for both performance and clubhouse impact. He discusses why signing Lucas Giolito isn’t a simple fix, citing underlying metrics that suggest regression and the reality that Giolito wouldn’t be ready for Opening Day, while other free-agent options are limited. Crosby then breaks down internal replacements, highlighting José Suarez, non-roster invitee Martín Pérez, and prospect JR Ritchie, emphasizing roster/option considerations and the need to balance short-term coverage with long-term development. 00:54 Joey Wentz ACL News 10:48 Giolito Reality Check 19:21 Free Agent Market Thin 23:16 Internal Options Breakdown Subscribe to Braves Today on audio wherever you get your podcasts Join our NEW Discord:   / discord   Follow the show on Twitter: @braves_today Follow Lindsay on Twitter: @CrosbyBaseball Read our written work: bravestoday.substack.com Send us questions: contact@bravestoday.com Get 10% off at Chinook Seedery with promo code "Braves" Get 20% off at NCase Cards with promo code "BravesToday" Rocker Chicks by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
