The Atlanta Braves place pitcher Martín Pérez on the injured list with a forearm contusion. Both reports say the injury occurs after Pérez is struck by a line drive from Juan Soto during a recent game against the New York Mets that ends with a 10–9 score. Following the injury, the Braves make a roster move to replace Pérez by designating veteran pitcher Carlos Carrasco for assignment. The transaction reflects the team’s need to fill a spot on the active roster while Pérez recovers from the forearm contusion. Neither report provides additional details on the length of Pérez’s absence, and both focus on the immediate sequence: Pérez is hit, later placed on the IL, and Carrasco is designated for assignment as the corresponding roster move. The Braves’ next steps depend on Pérez’s medical evaluation and progression during the IL stint.
