Braves recall Owen Murphy, designate Bailey Falter for assignment
Summary

The Atlanta Braves announced the recall of right-handed prospect Owen Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett on September 14 following a 5-run loss to the Phillies. Murphy, 22, has been promoted as the Braves adjust their pitching staff amidst injury challenges. He posted a 4.05 ERA over 6 2/3 innings in three MLB games this season. Left-hander Bailey Falter was designated for assignment after making two appearances since being added to the roster on September 9. If Falter clears waivers, he may remain with the organization at Triple-A. Murphy's performance in the coming weeks will influence his potential role in October’s postseason.
