Once again, the Atlanta Braves announced a plethora of roster moves Tuesday morning. First, the club selected left-hander José Suarez to the major league roster, followed by the recall of righty Nathan Wiles. The club then optioned two right-handers, Connor Seabold and Alexis Díaz, to Triple-A Gwinnett. Finally, Sean Murphy was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
Suarez started game one of the doubleheader, where he tossed seven innings and allowed two runs on five hits. He recorded nine strikeouts.
Wiles did not get any action on Tuesday but could provide a bullpen arm at some point.
The Braves completed the sweep of Tuesday’s doubleheader with the Washington Nationals, taking game one 6-3 and game two 5-0.
Grant McAuley caught up with Austin Riley to discuss his bounce-back plan.
The Philadelphia Phillies called up infielder Rafael Lantigua after placing Edmundo Sosa on the 10-day injured list, backdated to September 13. Sosa is dealing with a right groin strain.
Yordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros suffered a “pretty significant” ankle sprain and will miss some time. There was no specific timeline for his recovery.
