Braves reel from Murphy injury as León and Azócar come back to the majors

Braves catcher Sean Murphy was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left middle finger and is expected to miss at least two months, with Walt Weiss outlining the timeline. Veteran Sandy León returns to back up Drake Baldwin, and outfielder José Azócar re joins the majors after DFA’ing and signing a new minor-league contract. Jim Jarvis was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, as Ha-Seong Kim’s return helped facilitate the roster shuffle.

Braves put Murphy on 10-day IL with fractured finger, add León and Azócar

The Atlanta Braves placed catcher Sean Murphy on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left middle finger and signed catcher Sandy León to back up Mike Baldwin while promoting José Azócar to the active roster and optioning Jim Jarvis. Azócar is out of options and could face designation for assignment again when others return. Murphy’s injury followed a catcher-interference play, and X-rays confirmed the fracture with no return timetable yet. Atlanta also reinstated Ha-Seong Kim and placed Eli White on the concussion IL, leaving a regular outfield of Mike Yastrzemski, Michael Harris II and Mauricio Dubón with Azócar as depth.

Braves Promote Jim Jarvis, Designate Jose Azocar for Assignment

The Atlanta Braves selected infielder Jim Jarvis to the majors for his first call-up and designated outfielder Jose Azocar for assignment. Jarvis has delivered strong trends in the minors, including a .308/.415/.445 start at Gwinnett with 15 steals in 153 PAs, and could add infield depth as Ha-Seong Kim returns; Azocar, who has limited minor league options, is likely to clear waivers or be traded in the coming days.

"Padres' Tatis Jr. Joins Exclusive Club, A's Suffer Third Straight Loss"

San Diego Padres' José Azócar hits his first career home run, a three-run shot, in the team's victory over the Oakland A's. Fernando Tatis Jr. becomes the only Padres player to hit at least 25 home runs and steal at least 25 bases in a season twice. Padres manager Bob Melvin takes responsibility for the team's disappointing season and acknowledges the leadership void. The Padres still have a slim chance of making the postseason if they win their remaining games and other teams falter.

Padres Cut Ties with Outfielder Adam Engel

The San Diego Padres have designated outfielder Adam Engel for assignment to make room for Jose Azocar, who has been reinstated from the injured list. Engel has only appeared in five games this season and gone 0-for-6 over six plate appearances. The Padres signed Engel to a one-year, $1MM deal this past winter, and they are still responsible for the roughly $700K owed to the outfielder in remaining salary unless another team claims Engel off waivers or a trade is worked out.
