Braves officially place Eddie Rosario on the IL and name his replacement on the roster

Unfortunate news broke last night, Eddie Rosario will miss significant time to undergo laser eye surgery. In his place, William Woods will be joining the active roster.

The #Braves today recalled RHP William Woods to Atlanta and placed OF Eddie Rosario on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 25, with blurred vision and swelling in the right retina.

Woods has some promising stuff, but the results haven’t been there over the last two seasons. In 2021, he was injured for most of the season, appearing just six times, with one of them being a start. So far this year, he has a 7.04 ERA in 7.2 combined innings between Mississippi and Gwinnett. I don’t imagine Woods will be used in any other situation other than mop-up duty, and I wouldn’t be surprised if another move followed this one in the coming days before he even makes an appearance for the Braves.
