Braves cut ties with fan-favorite, World Series hero after remarkably short stint

The Atlanta Braves' last few roster spots are becoming a musical chairs game, and lots of key figures in recent franchise history are getting lost in the shuffle.

On Apr. 28, the Braves signed outfielder Eddie Rosario to a major league contract, marking the third stint in the organization for the 2021 National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player.

Each stint has now been shorter than the last, as Rosario didn't last two weeks with the big-league club.

On Friday, the Braves announced that Rosario had been designated for assignment, with utility player Luke Williams called up from Triple-A to take his spot on the active roster.
