The Braves kick off a 3-game series against NL East foe, the Phillies. Here are the pitching matchups for the week:
Braves Gain Extra Year of Control for Orlando Arcia
Boggy of Knockahoma Nation is a great resource for all things roster related and he told me that June 7th was the day that Braves could call up Arcia and gain an extra year of control. Looks like they can keep him around in 2022 if they choose to do so.
Scott Kingery Outrighted
It’s only relevant to the Braves as they’re playing the Phillies, but Kingery, halfway through his 6 year extension, was outrighted to AAA after he went unclaimed (and rightly so) through waivers.
