Reynaldo Lopez is inching closer to returning to the Atlanta Braves after a rehab assignment with Gwinnett this Sunday — a major boost for a team struggling with injuries. At 32, Lopez has battled setbacks since joining the Braves in 2024, missing most of last season with a shoulder injury. This year, he’s been stellar in 11 starts (4-3, 3.64 ERA, .245 batting average against), and his recent form suggests he’s ready to contribute. With AJ Smith-Shawver also returning, the Braves face rotation reshuffling — only Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle are locks; Lopez’s return could disrupt the current lineup of Bryce Elder, Grant Holmes, and Pérez.
