Braves Bring Up Burkhalter & Farmer | MLB News

Braves are set to call up pitcher Blake Burkhalter for his MLB debut—complete with a locker already waiting—just in time for roster expansion, as they look for any edge down the stretch. The 25-year-old, a second-round pick in 2022, had a solid ERA last year and avoided Rule Five selection despite interest; he missed early-season games with a back injury but is now ready to pitch. With the bullpen already strong, Burkhalter could be the extra arm they need. Meanwhile, veteran infielder Kyle Farmer, 36, is also getting a locker, offering versatile depth after missing time with a forearm issue. Though not flashy, his ability to play anywhere makes him valuable, likely to fill in on the bench and give shortstop Mauricio Dubón some rest.
