Overview
- The Braves announced Tuesday that they selected LHP Connor Thomas to the major-league roster, recalled RHP James Karinchak, optioned RHP Owen Murphy to Triple-A Gwinnett, placed RHP Tyler Kinley on the paternity list, and released RHP Daysbel Hernández.
- Owen Murphy was sent back to Triple-A after making his MLB debut in extra innings on Monday when he allowed the game-winning run in a difficult tied-game situation.
- Connor Thomas, a Georgia native with a strong Triple-A season and recent rehab work after left elbow arthritis, provides a left-handed option the club wanted available for the short road trip.
- James Karinchak returns to Atlanta to help cover innings while Tyler Kinley is away for paternity leave, reinforcing the club’s short-term bullpen needs through the Gwinnett-Atlanta shuttle.
- Daysbel Hernández was released to clear the 40-man spot; he had not pitched in the majors this season and owns 58.2 MLB innings with a 3.38 ERA over three seasons, which the club cited when making the roster decision.
