The Atlanta Braves will not have left-hander Chris Sale make his next scheduled start as planned, instead moving him back in the rotation.

The Atlanta Braves started the weekend series on a high note after Friday night’s 12-4 defeat over the Colorado Rockies. Bryce Elder got the ball to start the game; he threw 3.1 mediocre innings and allowed each of Colorado’s runs. The Atlanta offense, however, finally came to life and put together a few crooked number innings.

The 13-57 Colorado Rockies now own the worst 70-game mark to begin a season in modern MLB history (1901-present date) after falling 4-1 to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, per ESPN News Services.

Rockies rookie right-hander Chase Dollander began Saturday’s game by walking the Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr. and Alex Verdugo on 10 pitches, with seven of the eight balls not close to the strike zone. Then he yielded a run on two singles.

The offensive resurgence of Michael Harris II is coming at an ideal time for the Atlanta Braves. Harris has homered in back-to-back games and will try to keep it going when the Braves host Colorado in the second contest of their three-game series on Saturday.

With Michael Harris II finding his power stroke, Ronald Acuña Jr. hitting .375 after missing almost a full season and Marcel Ozuna fighting his way through a hip issue, the Atlanta Braves are hoping their offensive recovery has not come too late.

The Atlanta Braves continue to sort out the plan for closing out games after a crazy stretch of games and a needed couple days off
