He was immediately optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett, and to make room on the roster, fellow righty AJ Smith-Shawver was transferred to the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mederos only has 12 big league games under his belt, each with the Angels. In those 12 games, he\u2019s given up 24 runs, issued 21 walks, and struck out 22. Though not a blockbuster move for Atlanta, Mederos can provide some depth, should the pitching staff continue to be riddled with injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As for Smith-Shawver, the move was expected as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in June 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">More Braves News:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterypower.com\/atlanta-braves-scores\/128675\/grant-holmes-flirts-with-no-hitter-as-braves-defeat-diamondbacks-2-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grant Holmes<\/a> turned in a spectacular start Friday night as the Braves defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterypower.com\/post\/uM80yOEBrHXc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spencer Strider<\/a> got some action in a bullpen session on Friday, but there is still no timetable for his return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">John Gil launched a homer in his debut with the Rome Emperors on Thursday.
