This would be a fun call-up for the Braves to make early this season.

The Atlanta Braves are 9-5 and in first place in the NL East. Despite all of the concerns about the starting rotation, it's been a solid unit this season so far. Chris Sale has been good, Reynaldo Lopez has a 1.

15 ERA, Grant Holmes has a 2. 55 ERA, and even Bryce Elder has a 1. 02 ERA so far this season.

It's been a surprisingly worry-free unit. However, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter is predicting that the Braves will make an aggressive call-up to replace Martin Perez this April with 1. 72 ERA righty starting pitching prospect, JR Ritchie.
