On this episode of Braves Central, the Braves suffer another major blow as ace Chris Sale lands on the IL with a fractured rib cage. Michael Harris Jr. continues to slump at the plate — is it time for the Braves to sit him down despite his elite defense?

We also debate potential pitching reinforcements: Should Atlanta trade for a veteran like Charlie Morton or Sandy Alcántara, or call up top prospect Hurston Waldrep?

Plus: Didier Fuentes earns another start, the path to 90 wins, and we ask the question on every fan’s mind… is there any reason for hope?
