Atlanta reinstated Drake Baldwin from the 10-day IL and outrighted catcher Austin Wynns to Triple-A Gwinnett, creating a 40-man roster spot. Wynns has the right to elect free agency; he’s a journeyman catcher with experience across several clubs. With Murphy and Baldwin sidelined earlier, the Braves shuffled catchers and added Sandy León and Chadwick Tromp, and Baldwin’s return means León will back up the position going forward.

The Atlanta Braves have optioned rookie left-hander Jared Shuster back to Triple-A Gwinnett, likely to make room for Michael Soroka to start in Friday's series opener against the Miami Marlins. Shuster has had an inconsistent season and the move may be aimed at getting him into a regular routine. This decision follows the earlier optioning of AJ Smith-Shawver. Kolby Allard had an impressive season debut, while Soroka's start would allow for rest and lineup adjustments before the All-Star break.
The Atlanta Braves have recalled left-hander Jared Shuster from Gwinnett to start Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers, while optioning Danny Young back to Gwinnett. Shuster struggled in his previous two starts with the Braves, allowing 12 hits and eight runs in 8 2/3 innings, but has since improved with a 3.28 ERA in five starts at Gwinnett. The Braves have been using bullpen games to fill gaps created by injuries, but will need Shuster and other pitchers to step up when needed.
The Atlanta Braves have optioned pitcher Michael Soroka to Triple-A Gwinnett, as expected. Soroka made his Spring Training debut on Wednesday and will continue to work on his game in the minors. The Braves have 31 players left in camp as they prepare for their season opener next week.
