It makes sense given the short turnaround between tonight’s 8-6 win for the Braves over the Nationals and Thursday afternoon’s Getaway Day game to end the series.

We already got the huge news that consensus Top 100 prospect JR Ritchie would be called up to start Thursday’s game and now we’ve got a little more news to coincide with the big move. Sadly, Dylan Dodd’s latest stint is coming to a close as he’ll be heading to the IL. In his place, the Braves will be bringing back Carlos Carrasco.

Mark Bowman of MLB. com was the one who reported this news initially. Cookie Carrasco will come up to provide a long relief option in the pen tomorrow.

Dylan Dodd is going on the IL with a back or oblique strain. And in case you missed it earlier, Fuentes is going down to make room for Ritchie to start tomorrow. — Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) April 23, 2026 Dodd ended up making two appearances for the Braves in his latest stint, where he pitched four innings and only gave up a run.
