Tyler Kinley DFA'd for AJ Smith-Shawver; Is He an Playoff Starter? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

The Braves DFA Tyler Kinley to recall A.J. Smith-Shawver for a start vs Minnesota, continuing recent bullpen churn after Danny Young’s DFA and highlighting a plan for an October staff built around multi-inning, multi-pitch relievers plus leverage “stuff” arms. Lindsay Crosby breaks down rotation shuffling and potential postseason pitching roles, then recaps a 4–1 loss to the Twins: Tyler Mahle recovered after a costly first inning, but Atlanta’s offense produced just six hits, went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, struggled to elevate hard contact, and squandered key chances despite Drake Baldwin’s solo homer.
