Overview
- Atlanta announced the trade Wednesday, confirming Ryan Rolison’s acquisition from Colorado for cash considerations.
- The Rockies had designated Rolison for assignment Tuesday before the Braves completed the deal.
- Rolison, 28, debuted in MLB in 2025 and posted a 7.02 ERA over 31 appearances with a 12.9% strikeout rate and a 10.4% walk rate across 42 1/3 innings.
- A 2018 first-round pick, Rolison has dealt with multiple injuries that stalled his rise after early promise in the minors.
- The move bolsters organizational pitching depth as Atlanta retools its relief group after declining options on Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley, with some analysis suggesting he could be evaluated for a multi-inning role.
