The Atlanta Braves made roster moves on an off day, reinstating Stuart Fairchild from the injured list and designating José Azocar for assignment. Fairchild's unimpressive performance indicates a limited role, while Azocar has had minimal impact since joining the team. Nacho Alvarez Jr. returns to Triple-A after a disappointing stint with the big league team, presenting potential but struggling with specific hitting issues. Overall, these roster changes may have little effect on the team's performance, primarily serving as a shuffle rather than significant enhancements.
Despite the long text, none of this really matters. Stuart Fairchild will return to a .260 xwOBA and 45 wRC+ accrued in 36 PAs.
Jose Azocar got all of one PA for the Braves after getting DFAed by the Mets, clearing waivers, and signing a major league deal with Atlanta.
Alvarez is one of those guys where the MLEs suggest he can actually be useful to a big league team, but he has weird below-the-surface issues.
