Relief pitcher Blake Burkhalter got his big league debut on Tuesday, pitching one inning while surrendering a run, a hit, and a walk — but notching one strikeout. He was sent back to Triple-A Gwinnett by Wednesday. His strong performance in the minors — 16 games, 1.48 ERA, 1.15 WHIP — made his brief stint all the more notable. To fill his spot, the Braves called up Elieser Hernández, a familiar face who’s bounced around the organization and has a 4.80 ERA in limited action this season. It’s a fast-moving roster shuffle, but Hernández is now stepping into the spotlight at the major league level.

Orlando Arcia, the Braves’ 2021 World Series hero and former All-Star, has signed a minor-league deal with the Cincinnati Reds after being released by the Twins. Now 31 and with 11 MLB seasons under his belt, Arcia will begin his Reds journey at AAA Louisville, hoping to revive his career and earn a shot back in the majors. Once known for his power and consistency — including a career-best 2023 season — Arcia’s path forward is uncertain but compelling as he seeks redemption on the diamond.
