Austin Wynns played six games for the Atlanta Braves after being acquired from the Angels in June 2026. His performance was disappointing, going 1-for-14 at the plate with a.071 batting average and negative defensive contributions, leading to his release just two weeks later. Wynns was brought on to provide depth due to injuries to regular catchers Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy. After leaving the Braves, he signed with the Rangers and had a brief major league appearance later in the season. Wynns' overall 2026 season reflected struggles, finishing with -0.7 fWAR in 89 plate appearances.
