Injury report Moves & Injuries: Braves add two new players to improve depth..

Braves sign INF on January 5. RHP Huascar and Luis Guillorme Ynoa
Guillorme agreed to a one-year contract for $1.1 million, while Ynoa signed a one-year contract worth $825,000 to avoid arbitration. With a.675 OPS in his last three seasons with the Mets, Guillorme is expected to be Atlanta’s main backup infielder. Ynoa missed the previous campaign while he healed from Tommy John surgery. He’ll offer depth to the starting pitching

December 30th: LHP Traded INF Vaughn Grissom to the Red Sox for Chris Sale.
In return for Grissom, a young infield prospect with promise, Atlanta pulled off a major trade with Boston that added veteran left-hander Sale, a seven-time All Star. With just 11 starts from 2020–22 due to injury, the team believes Sale can make a consistent contribution to the starting rotation.

There is a health history, and I know it will come up,” stated Alex Anthopoulos, president of baseball operations for the Braves. However, we believe he is a starter who can compete for a postseason spot, and that is what we were looking for this summer. We will make every effort to keep him on the mound.”
