9/13/24 | Braves second base woes end with return of veteran utility player. The Atlanta Braves have been hamstrung with injuries to key players all season long, but fans finally received a piece of good news on Friday afternoon — albeit a small one. Whit Merrifield is back in the lineup for the Braves on Friday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, batting ninth and playing second base, per Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The return is surprisingly quick, considering that Merrifield fouled a ball off his left foot and fractured it on Sept. 6 and he was initially expected to miss at least six weeks. If Merrifield can play through the pain, he could make a considerable difference until Ozzie Albies can return from a left wrist fracture he suffered on July 21.

9/09/24 | Nationals Notebook: Focusing on the future. The Washington Nationals were officially eliminated from the NL East Friday night, and although they won't be long in the Wild Card race (elimination number is seven), they still have plenty to play for as more than a few players on the field, plus pitchers in the rotation/bullpen are going to have the opportunity to make their case for becoming contributing factors in 2025. Digesting the Division: Philadelphia (85-58) lost two of three in Miami, slipping one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for home field advantage in the NL Playoffs. Meanwhile, the Braves deal with another injury as infielder Whit Merrifield is out with a fractured foot. Washington (64-79) can still finish with a better record than last year with an 8-11 finish.

9/07/24 | Braves' Whit Merrifield dealt crucial injury update. The Atlanta Braves (77-64) have been battling injuries throughout the 2024 MLB campaign but have mostly managed to stay afloat to this point. Midseason pickup Whit Merrifield fouled a ball off his left foot in the Braves' 3-1 win versus the Toronto Blue Jays and brutally suffered a foot fracture. “Doctors told him six weeks last night,” MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported on Saturday. It is tough to fathom the three-time All-Star being able to rejoin Atlanta in time for a home showdown with Los Angeles given the nature of his injury, but a unique set of circumstances might pave the way for an improbable return.
