The Atlanta Braves make multiple roster moves following injuries and roster decisions affecting their pitching staff. After reporting that a spot was opening on the major league roster, the team officially calls up pitching prospect Owen Murphy to Atlanta. The move comes after starter Martín Pérez is placed on the injured list due to a forearm injury suffered when he is hit by a comebacker during a Sunday loss to the New York Mets.
In addition to Murphy’s promotion, the Braves designate veteran pitcher Carlos Carrasco for assignment, continuing a sequence of roster adjustments involving his status. The club also recalls JR Ritchie, adding another player to the active roster.
Overall, the announcements reflect the Braves’ effort to fill pitching depth as they navigate an injured starter and make further changes to their bullpen and rotation personnel.
