Reynaldo López returns to Atlanta rotation against Rays on Wednesday

The Atlanta Braves face the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday looking to avoid a three-game losing streak. Reynaldo López is set to return to the mound for the Braves after missing August with a knee injury. His last appearance occurred July 26 against the Orioles, where he recorded six strikeouts over nearly six innings. The Atlanta lineup faces Rays pitcher Griffin Jax, who holds a 3.82 ERA this season. The Braves currently maintain a four-game lead in the NL East standings as they attempt to secure the win in the final game of the series at Truist Park. The Atlanta offense aims to improve upon recent outings, which included a shutout and a one-run performance in the first two games against Tampa Bay.
