Atlanta Braves make roster moves with Harris designation and prospect promotions

The Atlanta Braves have made several roster adjustments involving pitching prospects and veteran players. Left-hander Hayden Harris has been designated for assignment. His departure from the 40-man roster facilitates the selection of right-hander Elieser Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett.

In related roster movements, the Braves have utilized the expansion of active roster spots for September. Right-hander Blake Burkhalter, the No. 15 prospect in the organization, has been promoted to the active roster following a successful stint in Triple-A where he maintained a 1.48 ERA. Additionally, infielder Kyle Farmer is expected to be among the September call-ups after performing in the minor leagues following a previous release and re-signing with the team.
