The Atlanta Braves announced on Thursday morning that RHP Collin McHugh was making his way back to the bullpen after being on the injured list with Covid. In order to make room on the roster, righty Jacob Webb was designated for assignment.
The Braves acquired Webb from the Arizona Diamondbacks shortly after McHugh tested positive for the virus, but he did not appear in a game during his latest stint with Atlanta. However, if he clears waivers, the Braves could outright Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett.
McHugh, on the other hand, has established himself in the ‘pen and has tossed 23.
