The Atlanta Braves have implemented several roster changes involving pitching prospects and veteran players. In late August, the team designated left-hander Hayden Harris for assignment to facilitate the selection of right-hander Elieser Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett. During this period, the organization also promoted prospect Blake Burkhalter and expected infielder Kyle Farmer to join the active roster for September. By early September, the team designated right-handed pitcher Elieser Hernández for assignment, marking the third time in seven weeks the organization has taken this action with the player. To fill his roster spot, the Braves selected the contract of left-hander Bailey Falter from Triple-A Gwinnett. Additionally, the team placed Bryce Elder on the 15-day injured list for knee surgery and activated Reynaldo López to provide coverage. On the field, the team has faced competitive challenges, including a series loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. During that series, the Braves suffered a 7-2 defeat. Offseason reports also indicate organizational movement regarding pitcher Spencer Strider; the Braves reportedly attempted to include Strider in a contract-swap trade for Jacob deGrom prior to the 2026 trade deadline, but the deal was blocked by deGrom’s no-trade clause.
