(Atlanta News First) &#8211; The Atlanta Braves host the Houston Astros on Friday, marking the 14th of 15 regular season games broadcast on Gray Media in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Braves (65-81) are in the home stretch. A forgettable season plagued with injuries is soon coming to a close. The Astros, however, sit at 79-68, good enough for first place in the AL West, just half a game ahead of the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Houston bears a strong resemblance to Atlanta. Both endure hot, humid climates and field baseball teams plagued by injuries at a level that would typically derail a standard organization\u2019s season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">But the Astros have persisted, maintaining a playoff push despite numerous holes in their pitching staff, the newest being right-hander Luis Garcia, who will miss the remainder of the season with a right elbow injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Garcia underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2023 and endured a 28-month recovery before Tuesday\u2019s injury against the Toronto Blue Jays. He flew back to Houston on Wednesday to be evaluated by team doctors, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\"><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/2025\/09\/09\/braves-cubs-injury-report-c-sean-murphy-out-season-cubs-rf-kyle-tucker-moved-injured-list\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Braves-Cubs injury report: C Sean Murphy out for season<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Here\u2019s the full injury report:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><b>Braves:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list | article-list\">\n<li>C Sean Murphy (right hip labral tear)<\/li>\n<li>3B Austin Riley (strained abdomen)<\/li>\n<li>LHP Aaron Bummer (left shoulder inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Joe Jim\u00e9nez (left knee surgery)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Reynaldo Lopez (right shoulder inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Spencer Schwellenbach (fractured right elbow)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Grant Holmes (right elbow inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>RHP AJ Smith-Shawver (torn right UCL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><b>Astros:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list | article-list\">\n<li>RHP Spencer Arrighetti (right elbow inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Ronel Blanco (torn ulnar collateral ligament in right elbow)<\/li>\n<li>OF\/INF Zach Dezenzo (right elbow strain)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Luis Garcia (right elbow discomfort)<\/li>\n<li>LHP Josh Hader (left shoulder capsule strain)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Kaleb Ort (right elbow inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>OF Pedro Leon (Grade 1 MCL strain)<\/li>\n<li>3B Isaac Paredes (right hamstring strain)<\/li>\n<li>2B Brendan Rodgers (concussion\/nasal fracture)<\/li>\n<li>LHP John Rooney (left elbow inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>LHP Bennett Sousa (low grade left elbow flexor\/pronator strain)<\/li>\n<li>LHP Brandon Walter (left elbow inflammation)<\/li>\n<li>RHP Hayden Wesneski (torn ulnar collateral ligament in right elbow)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">First pitch is at 7:15 p.m. EST on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to watch Braves on Gray<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Gray Media will simulcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/2025\/03\/27\/these-15-regular-games-will-air-part-braves-gray-how-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/2025\/03\/27\/these-15-regular-games-will-air-part-braves-gray-how-watch\/\"><b>these<\/b><\/a> 15 Atlanta Braves games throughout the Southeast this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Fans can watch Saturday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/2025\/02\/21\/where-can-i-watch-braves-gray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/2025\/02\/21\/where-can-i-watch-braves-gray\/\"><b>Braves on Gray<\/b><\/a> simulcast by tuning into<b> <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/programming\/schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/programming\/schedule\/\"><b>Atlanta News First<\/b><\/a> over the air on channel 46 or on YouTube TV, Dish Network, DirecTV, Xfinity and Spectrum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">If you are in another market outside of Atlanta, you can find your channel at <a href=\"http:\/\/bravesongray.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"http:\/\/bravesongray.com\/\"><b>BravesOnGray.com<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATLANTA, Ga.
