The Braves lost 4-3 to the Chicago Cubs, dropping the series despite promising performances from Harris and Rolddy Muñoz. JR Ritchie delivered another strong start for Triple-A Gwinnett. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. suffered a torn ACL and will miss 2025 and part of 2026. David Festa and Jesse Winker each suffered setbacks likely ending their seasons. The Washington Nationals signed catcher Jorge Alfaro to a major league deal.
The Atlanta Braves made a series of roster moves Tuesday, beginning with the activation of the recently acquired Ha-Seong Kim. The announcement was followed by Jurickson Profar's move to the paternity list, the promotion of Hayden Harris, and the demotions of Hunter Stratton and Wander Suero. In his Braves debut, Kim logged eight innings at shortstop and went 2-for-4 at the plate. Should he stay with the club, it appears Atlanta has solved the shortstop problem.
Arizona Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. suffered a torn ACL. He is done for 2025 and will miss a good portion of 2026. Minnesota Twins starter David Festa is out for the season after dealing with a setback while recovering from a shoulder injury. He is headed for a consultation with an orthopedist for further evaluation. New York Mets outfielder Jesse Winker is likely done for the season after suffering a setback in his rehab assignment.
