Braves News: Martín Pérez to injured list, home finale, and more
Atlanta Braves news and notes from Thursday.
The Atlanta Braves have made significant roster changes as they prepare for the postseason. Left-handed pitcher Martín Pérez has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his lower back, effective immediately. This move comes just days before the playoffs are set to begin, marking an unfortunate setback for the team.
To accommodate Pérez's absence, the Braves have called up right-handed pitcher Elieser Hernández from their minor league system. Hernández, known for his pitching prowess, will now suit up for the major league roster.
In addition to Pérez's injury, the Braves' home finale against the Cincinnati Reds did not go as planned, resulting in a 7-6 defeat. Meanwhile, in other league news, the Houston Astros placed outfielder Daulton Varsho on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist inflammation, effective September 23.
On the other side of the division, the New York Yankees also made a roster adjustment, adding right-hander Clarke Schmidt to the 15-day injured list with right bicep neuritis, effective September 21. As the Braves navigate these challenges, their focus remains on securing a favorable matchup in the Wild Card round.
