The Atlanta Braves made a series of roster moves<\/a> ahead of Tuesday\u2019s contest in Pittsburgh. Most notably, right-hander Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. In addition, the club selected the contract of lefty Connor Thomas, released righty Daysbel Hern\u00e1ndez, recalled righty James Karinchak, and placed righty Tyler Kinley on the paternity list.<\/p>\n

22-year-old Murphy made his debut on Monday evening, where he was put in a difficult extra-inning situation against the New York Mets<\/a>. He threw just one inning but allowed the game-winning runs.<\/p>\n

The remaining moves are refreshing Atlanta\u2019s bullpen as the club continues the final road trip before the All-Star break. Thomas gives the Braves a fresh left-handed arm, while Karinchak returns after a brief stint in Triple-A to help cover innings with Kinley away on the paternity list.<\/p>\n

Hurston Waldrep struggled and the Braves suffered a 12-4 beatdown<\/a> from the Pittsburgh Pirates.<\/p>\n

Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr.<\/a> is reportedly nearing a rehab assignment. It could begin as soon as next week.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Twins have placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list<\/a> with a right hip strain. The move is retroactive to July 6. The injury will cause Buxton to miss the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

Rowdy Tellez has rejoined the Braves on a minor league deal.<\/p>\n

Rowdy Tellez is back with the Braves<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The DFA cycle is now apparently a thing for ol’ Rowdy, as he has reportedly signed a minor league deal to rejoin the Braves organization. <\/p>\n
