The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have acquired their 40th win on May 30th when it took them until July 9th last year, have made half an interesting active roster move on their off day.
The #Braves optioned RHP Anthony Molina to Triple-A Gwinnett following yesterday’s game, and outrighted RHP Carlos Carrasco to the Stripers.

Anthony Molina has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. Molina was called up for the weekend series but never used. He will return to Gwinnett along with Carlos Carrasco apparently. Carlos Carrasco has been selected to the Braves and designated for assignment three times already. He will park the Cookie Carrasco Caravan in Lawrenceville for now until needed to soak up some innings. Today is an off day for both the Braves and Stripers and no corresponding move has been announced for either team. Rolddy Munoz looks to be the most appealing Gwinnett Striper on the Braves’ 40-man roster at the moment. Munoz has a 2.72 FIP for the season in Triple-A, and has a 13/6 K/BB rate with no homers in May. Also, Hurston Waldrep starts rehab today.
RHP Hurston Waldrep today begins a rehabilitation assignment with the FCL Braves.

Hurston’s 2026 season never got off the ground, as he required surgery for loose bodies in his elbow. I don’t believe we know the timeline for Waldrep, but things are definitely happening.
