The Braves have selected Sandy León to their major league roster as a third catcher, allowing for backup options behind Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy. Stuart Fairchild has been designated for assignment to make room for León. Manager Brian Snitker plans to continue rotating Baldwin and Murphy in the catcher and designated hitter roles, affecting Marcell Ozuna's playing time significantly. There is speculation about Ozuna potentially being traded soon to address roster constraints, with a focus on future seasons ahead, particularly 2026.
The club added Sandy León to provide Brian Snitker with a break-in-case-of-emergency backup option, as catchers Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy rotate.
Marcell Ozuna, previously the team's primary DH, played on Sunday to give Murphy a breather, indicating a shift in player use.
