Burkhalter & Farmer Join Braves | MLB News

Atlanta’s roster gets a major boost as Blake Burkhalter and Kyle Farmer make their MLB debuts, adding pitching depth and versatile infield flexibility just in time for September expansion. Burkhalter, a second-round 2022 draft pick, finally pitches at the big league level after battling a back injury early this season. Farmer, a familiar face recovering from a forearm strain, brings positional versatility to fill gaps — especially at shortstop — as the team braces for postseason push.

With injuries and workload management looming, these moves signal Atlanta’s serious intent to compete down the stretch.
