The Atlanta Braves announced a few moves prior to Friday evening’s game in Colorado, beginning with recalling right-hander Hunter Stratton to Atlanta. The club also selected the contract of fellow righty Anthony Molina. Things were not as fortunate for Joel Payamps and José Suarez, who were each designated for assignment.

Stratton has yet to make his 2026 debut at the major league level, but in Triple-A, he’s put together a 4.50 ERA in 11 games.
Molina made his season debut Friday night, where he threw two hitless innings. He recorded just one base on balls.
Given that Payamps and Suarez have been DFA’d, this looks to be a step in the right direction for the Atlanta bullpen.
