Overview
- The Braves and Red Sox completed the swap on Monday, August 3, 2026, with Atlanta receiving RHP Tyler Uberstine and Boston getting OF Eli White.
- Eli White is out of options so Boston is required to place him on its major‑league roster and will assume the remainder of his roughly $900,000 arbitration salary.
- Tyler Uberstine is a 27‑year‑old righty with one big‑league appearance on April 5 and a 2.81 ERA across 32 Triple‑A innings this season after missing time for shoulder soreness.
- Atlanta immediately optioned Uberstine to Triple‑A Gwinnett and retains him on the first of his three option years while Boston adds a versatile, speed‑and‑defense bench outfielder.
- The trade is a low‑risk, deadline‑era depth move that shifts Boston’s bench versatility into Atlanta’s pitching pipeline and should be judged on White’s late‑game role and Uberstine’s ability to translate Triple‑A success to the big leagues.
