Summary

The Braves have designated veteran right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco for assignment again, this time to make room for right-hander James Karinchak, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett. Additionally, Atlanta placed reliever Tyler Kinley on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation and recalled righty JR Ritchie from Gwinnett. Carrasco, 39, cannot be optioned due to his service time, so the Braves must DFA him whenever they want to send him to the minors.
