Braves recall JR Ritchie and promote James Karinchak to major league roster

The Atlanta Braves have made several roster moves prior to their game against the White Sox. James Karinchak has been called up to the major league roster after signing a minor-league contract, while Tyler Kinley has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. In a corresponding move, JR Ritchie has been recalled to the Braves despite recent struggles in Triple-A. This comes after a blown save in the previous game where Carlos Carrasco has been designated for assignment.
