Overview

  • The Braves said on X Wednesday that they reinstated left-hander Dylan Lee from the paternity list and designated right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment.
  • Lee has been Atlanta's most effective lefty reliever this season, logging 14 outings with a 1.38 ERA and four holds across 13 innings.
  • Carrasco, 39, a 17-year major-league veteran, worked one scoreless inning for Atlanta on April 23 against the Nationals.
  • A DFA places a player on waivers, so Carrasco can be claimed by another team or, if unclaimed, he can accept a Triple-A Gwinnett assignment or request his release.
  • Lee’s return gives Atlanta a trusted option against Detroit’s left-handed hitters, including Kevin McGonigle, Colt Keith, Riley Greene, and Kerry Carpenter.
