It should not come as a surprise to anyone who follows the Atlanta Braves that reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale will take the hill on opening day this season.

The Atlanta Braves began the 2025 season entering a new era of catching. Starting catcher Sean Murphy will miss the beginning of the regular season due to a rib injury leaving a team that was consumed by injury last season in search of replacements yet again.
