The Atlanta Braves have responded to their recent bullpen woes by trading relief pitcher Scott Blewett to the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations. This decision follows a disastrous performance where Blewett allowed five earned runs in just 1 1/3 innings during an 11-10 loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Blewett, who has a career ERA of 3.02 over 53 2/3 innings, struggled mightily in his recent appearances with Atlanta, leading to the trade.

Additionally, the Braves promoted veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel from Triple-A, aiming to bolster their bullpen as they prepare for a crucial series against the San Francisco Giants. With the Braves currently sitting at a disappointing 27-34 record, the team hopes these changes will help them regain their footing in the National League East, where they trail the New York Mets by 11 games.
