Braves announce position change for Kyle Farmer during rehab assignment

The Atlanta Braves will transition Kyle Farmer to catching as he begins a rehab assignment. Farmer, a veteran infielder limited to 10 games this season due to a forearm strain, has previous experience catching in the minors. This change comes as the Braves reinforce their roster, having recently signed Sandy Leon and acquired Joey Bart. Farmer has not played catcher at the major league level since 2019, and the team will evaluate his performance behind the plate as the season progresses.
