JUST-IN: Braves Shake Up Roster: Fairchild Returns, Azocar Dumped, and Alvarez Demoted in Surprise Move!

 

What’s an off day for the Braves without a bit of roster tinkering? Predictably, Atlanta used the downtime to shuffle the edges of the squad.

Let’s be honest—most of these moves won’t change much. Stuart Fairchild, for example, owns a .260 expected wOBA and a 45 wRC+ over 36 plate appearances. With Ronald Acuña Jr. healthy again and Eli White still hanging around, Fairchild is unlikely to see much action. He’s essentially the backup pinch-runner when Luke Williams isn’t available—a fitting role, really.
