Braves Shuffle Rotation After Pérez Injury | MLB News

Atlanta Braves pitcher Martín Pérez is sidelined for at least two weeks after a line drive struck his forearm, forcing an emergency roster shuffle. With Pérez on the 15-day IL, the Braves called up top prospect Owen Murphy and recalled JR Ritchie from Triple-A, while designating veteran Carlos Carrasco for assignment. Manager Walt Weiss admitted they were running low on pitching options, and the moves signal a shift toward younger arms as the team heads into a crucial series against the Pirates. Murphy could make his MLB debut soon, while Ritchie provides bullpen flexibility. Despite recent rough starts, Pérez’s value was clear before his injury — and the Braves are counting on these new arms to step up.
