The Atlanta Braves added two relievers to the active roster today, in an attempt to strengthen their bullpen in the face of rotation uncertainty.

After losing their ace Mike Soroka to a ruptured Achilles tendon Monday night, the Atlanta Braves‘ first move was calling up two bullpen arms; Chad Sobotka and Huascar Ynoa. They made space for the two relievers by placing Mike Soroka on the 45-Day IL and designating Chris Rusin for assignment.
