• Braves add catcher Sandy Leon to roster, DFA outfielder Stuart Fairchild

Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images A foreshadowing roster move. With the Braves seemingly set to rotate catchers Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy behind the plate and at designated hitter for the foreseeable future, the club added a third catcher to the roster by way of Sandy Leon to provide Brian Snitker with a break-in-case-of-emergency backup option. Stuart Fairchild, who has seldom appeared ...2025

Jeff Curry-Imagn Images It's just a running gag at this point. At least the first rain came. Sonny Gray came out and needed only 36 pitches to get through 3 innings with 5 strikeouts. The Atlanta Braves were able to get one run across in the top of the third, and it seemed like they might've been figuring him out the second time through, though the rain probably had something to do with ...2025
