Atlanta Braves designate José Azócar for assignment before Cardinals series

The Atlanta Braves made multiple roster moves ahead of their series against the St. Louis Cardinals, designating outfielder José Azócar for assignment. Azócar, who has played in parts of five MLB seasons, appeared in just one game since being recalled. Additionally, the Braves reinstated Eli White from the paternity list and moved Hurston Waldrep to Triple-A Gwinnett. These changes come as the Braves, currently holding a three-game lead in the NL East, look to solidify their roster during the final stretch before the All-Star break.
