The Atlanta Braves handled business on the road to start the season, but had a buzzkill series against the San Diego Padres over the weekend.

Grant McAuley discusses the mounting injuries for Atlanta, which included three more players landing on the injured list in the past week. While the return of Kyle Wright could be a boost to the pitching staff, Atlanta is hoping to have Max Fried, Raisel Iglesias and Collin McHugh back sooner than later as well.

While the lineup is loaded in the top three spots, how will Brian Snitker and the Braves navigate in the near-term without Michael Harris II and Travis d'Arnaud? How long will Atlanta stick with Marcell Ozuna? Can Eddie Rosario bounce back and help solve the left field production issues? Those questions and more are discussed.

You'll also hear the inside story of the creation of Atlanta's City Connect uniforms. I caught up with Braves VP and Creative Director Insung Kim to get the scoop on the thought process behind those and the future of Braves uniforms. I also went into my archives to dig up the story of the original Hank Aaron throwback uniforms, which debuted in 1972.
