The Atlanta Braves have made a roster move by adding right-handed reliever José Ruiz, who was claimed off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies, to help address their struggling bullpen. In conjunction with this move, they optioned fellow reliever Austin Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett. This decision follows the recent designation of Craig Kimbrel for assignment after his brief appearance this season. Despite his poor performance with the Phillies, Ruiz brings veteran experience that could be valuable as the Braves deal with injuries and inconsistent pitching.
