Braves’ elite prospect suffers oblique injury, future uncertain
ClutchPointsFriday, June 27, 2025 at 12:34:50 AM
The Atlanta Braves’ top prospect, Nacho Álvarez, is back on the injured list after straining his oblique in a Triple-A game—just 10 days after returning from a two-month wrist injury. The 24-year-old infielder was showing promise at the plate before the setback, leaving his immediate future unclear.
Editor’s Note: For Braves fans and the organization, this is a tough blow. Álvarez is a key piece of their future, and recurring injuries could delay his development or even impact his long-term potential. Oblique strains can be tricky, so his timeline—and how the team handles it—will be worth watching. In a sport where prospects are currency, losing momentum like this stings.
