Who could round out the Braves’ rotation in 2027?

MLB.com assesses the Atlanta Braves' starting rotation options for the 2027 season as the front office navigates free agency and multiple pitching injuries. Free-agent right-hander Tyler Mahle is identified as a potential primary target after posting a 1.99 ERA in nine starts for Atlanta following his midseason trade from the San Francisco Giants.

Injuries create significant uncertainty, with Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach both returning from elbow surgeries and carrying questionable projections as durable starters. Chris Sale, Bryce Elder, and Grant Holmes represent the club's main returning starters projected for 25-plus outings, with Didier Fuentes and several prospects offering additional depth.
