Overview
- The Braves announced they reinstated Eli White from the concussion injured list and designated José Azócar for assignment following a team roster move.
- White had crashed into the outfield wall on May 10 while making a catch and was placed in concussion protocol before being cleared to rejoin the club.
- Atlanta plans to use White as a fourth outfielder who will platoon with Mike Yastrzemski against left-handed pitching and provide occasional starts.
- Azócar delivered a short-term offensive boost while Ronald Acuña Jr. was unavailable, posting strong numbers across a small sample but now faces the DFA process.
- Azócar could be claimed off waivers, traded, or elect free agency if unclaimed, and the roster change may affect whether Acuña remains at DH or returns to the outfield.
