The reigning World Series champions have surged back into the playoff picture with the longest undefeated march of the season. Here’s how they’ve done it.
NEW YORK (AP) Shortstop Dansby Swanson beat the Braves in salary arbitration on Wednesday and outfielder Adam Duvall lost to Atlanta, leaving teams with a 6-3 advantage over players this year. Swanson was awarded $10 million rather than the team's $9.2 million offer by Jeanne Charles, Richard McNeill and Scott Buccheit, who heard arguments on Tuesday.
Braves manager Brian Snitker strongly suggested on Thursday that Soler won t be available through the NLCS even though he is vaccinated against the coronavirus.
