ATLANTA (AP) — Baseball's best team has some major pitching concerns heading into the final week of the regular season.
Strider remains confident in his team, no matter who is healthy for the playoffs.
Without Fried, the Braves would have to turn to someone they never expected to use for a playoff start.
Morton (14-12) definitely is out until at least the best-of-seven NL Championship Series, which begins Oct. 16 and would require four starters.
Should the Braves advance past the NLDS, they hope the 39-year-old right-hander will be able to return from a sprained index finger.
