The Atlanta Braves are re-evaluating their pitching staff after a disappointing performance against the San Francisco Giants, where right-handers Davis Daniel and Wander Suero combined to give up nine runs in a 9-0 loss. Following this outing, Daniel was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after posting a 5.40 ERA, while Suero faces a similar fate after allowing four runs in just two innings.

In response, the Braves have recalled Dylan Dodd and Hunter Stratton, seeking fresh arms for their bullpen. Dodd has shown promise with a 3.75 ERA across 11 relief appearances, while Stratton, acquired from Pittsburgh earlier, is expected to bolster the roster as the team looks to bounce back.

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Michael Darrell-Hicks is making a swift return to the majors after being claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old lefty, who struggled with a 9.39 ERA in his six appearances with the Angels, has shown potential after throwing two scoreless innings in Triple-A. His call-up comes as the Pirates seek fresh arms following a taxing game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Meanwhile, Hunter Stratton has been sent back to Triple-A, after facing challenges on the mound this season.

Manager Don Kelly has expressed confidence in both pitchers, acknowledging the experience Stratton brings and the potential Darrell-Hicks offers. As Darrell-Hicks acknowledges the journey, he aims to refine his performance to help the Pirates bolster their bullpen.
