That will be the last game of a crucial three-game series against New York. After the Mets&#8217; victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday afternoon, Atlanta trails the Mets by half a game for the final Wild Card spot in the National League with a 79-66 record. Both teams trail the first-place Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00f3pez has been having a spectacular season for the Braves, posting a 2.03 ERA over 24 starts. This season has been the most innings L\u00f3pez has thrown since 2019, at 128 1\/3 innings, almost doubling his previous best of 66 innings in the last five seasons. This is L\u00f3pez&#8217;s second time on the injured list this season. Elbow inflammation in July put him on the 15-day injured list. He was able to come back as soon as he was eligible, so Braves fans will be hoping for the same thing again.<\/p>\n<h4>Corresponding Moves<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Braves?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Braves<\/a> today recalled RHP Daysbel Hern\u00e1ndez to Atlanta and placed RHP Reynaldo L\u00f3pez on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
