Braves release Culberson before father's first pitch.
TL;DR Summary
The Atlanta Braves designated infielder Charlie Culberson for assignment on Father's Day morning, creating an awkward situation as his father was scheduled to throw the first pitch in honor of the holiday. The team had outfielder Michael Harris II's father do the honor instead, and Harris went on to have a great game, going 5-for-5 in the Braves' win over the Rockies. The Braves needed to create space for catcher Chadwick Tromp after losing starting catcher Sean Murphy to injury. Culberson had been in his second stint with the Braves and has played for five different teams in his major league career.
