After disappointingly dropping the first two games in their series with the New York Mets, the Braves have made a couple of roster moves.

Aaron Bummer is heading to the 15-day IL with shoulder inflammation, and Erick Fedde has been released. In their place, Wander Suero and Hunter Stratton have been recalled to Atlanta.

The #Braves today recalled RHP Wander Suero and RHP Hunter Stratton to Atlanta, placed LHP Aaron Bummer on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation, and released RHP Erick Fedde from the roster.

The biggest news here is Aaron Bummer going on the Injured List with a shoulder injury.

Bummer has been better than a lot of Braves fans might care to admit since he was acquired ahead of the 2024 campaign. Over the last two seasons, he owns a 3.69 ERA with a 2.86 FIP and 113 ERA+ (13% above league average). However, after receiving a contract extension last offseason, he gets quite a hefty raise in 2026, with his salary spiking to $9.5 million after making just $3.5 million this season.

That’s a steep price to pay for a slightly above average middle relief pitcher, especially one that is now dealing with a shoulder injury. Hopefully, this move is a precautionary one, but shoulder injuries have a knack for being tricky and can linger, sometimes completely derailing careers, as we’ve seen recently with Kyle Wright and Reynaldo Lopez.
