The Atlanta Braves have the best record in the MLB following their series win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. On Tuesday, the Braves are set to square off against the equally as hot Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Hours before the most anticipated series thus far, the Braves announced a trio of roster changes on X after catcher Sean Murphy finds his way back onto the IL.
“The #Braves today signed free agent C Sandy León to a major league contract and placed C Sean Murphy on the 10-day injured list, backdated to May 11, with a fractured left middle finger. Atlanta today also selected OF José Azócar to the major league roster after optioning INF Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett yesterday.”
Murphy received an X-Ray on Sunday after sustaining the injury on a catcher’s interference against the Dodgers. The 31-year-old made his season debut on May 5, and was 1-for-14 in his four games back before his new IL stint.
