The Atlanta Braves<\/a> announced multiple roster moves on Wednesday. Former Cleveland Guardians star Carlos Carrasco<\/a> stands out among the players involved, as he was reassigned to minor league camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe #Braves today optioned LHP Hayden Harris to Triple-A Gwinnett and reassigned RHPs Carlos Carrasco, Elieser Hern\u00e1ndez and James Karinchak to minor league camp. Atlanta now has 50 active players in camp,\u201d the Braves announced on<\/a> X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

The Braves acquired Carrasco last season<\/a>. The veteran pitcher \u2014 who finished fourth in American League Cy Young voting with Cleveland in 2017 \u2014 appeared in three total games with Atlanta last season. He re-signed with the Braves on a minor league contract this past offseason.<\/p>\n

Karinchak, who also once found success in Cleveland, was reassigned to minor league camp as well. The Braves added Karinchak during the offseason<\/a> as a relief depth option.<\/p>\n

Harris, 27, made a few MLB appearances last season with the Braves. He found success in the minor leagues as well. Harris could receive a big league promotion at some point in 2026.<\/p>\n

Hernandez, 30, made his MLB debut in 2018. He most recently appeared in a big league game in 2024. His veteran experience could make him a candidate to join the Braves at some point this year.<\/p>\n

The Braves need all of the depth they can get. Injures have been an unfortunate storyline for the ball club so far during spring training<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the four aforementioned players will look to impress at minor league camp in hopes of returning to the big leagues during the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Atlanta Braves announced multiple roster moves on Wednesday.
