Atlanta Braves Secure Yonny Chirinos from Tampa Bay Rays
The Atlanta Braves have claimed right-hander Yonny Chirinos off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays, adding depth to their pitching staff. Chirinos has struggled this season with a 4.02 ERA and a career-worst strikeout rate. The Braves hope to find potential in his profile and make necessary corrections. In corresponding moves, the team designated Seth Elledge for assignment and optioned Michael Soroka to Triple-A Gwinnett.
