A number of roster changes have been announced by the Atlanta Braves in advance of their game in Queens on Thursday night. First, the team recalled right-hander Daysbel Hernández to Atlanta and placed third baseman Austin Riley back on the paternity list. The team placed infielder Zack Short on assignment to free up a spot on the roster.
Riley was fortunate enough to miss just one Braves game due to weather. When he finally returned, he did so with two hits under his belt.
This season, Hernández has pitched 9.2 innings without giving up a run. He will probably just be here for a brief while longer because a starting pitcher will be promoted in the next few days.
After Whit Merrifield and Nacho Alvarez Jr. were added, Short’s chances of playing in Atlanta significantly decreased.
The Braves suffered an ugly 3-2 loss to the New York Mets despite Chris Sale’s domination. Charlie Morton is on the bump tonight as the series continues.
After feeling sore while trying to heal from a hamstring problem, Michael Harris II was recently moved to the 60-day IL. Now, on August 14, he can be activated.
