Braves trade for catcher Austin Wynns from Angels as backup option

The Atlanta Braves traded for catcher Austin Wynns from the Los Angeles Angels on June 3. The Braves made the move to bolster their lineup after designating catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment. Wynns, a veteran with eight years of MLB experience, has struggled offensively this season, posting a.077 batting average with the Athletics. The Braves aim to improve the catcher position until Drake Baldwin returns from injury. Additionally, centerfielder DeShawn Kiersey Jr. was selected but sent to Triple-A, while Sean Murphy was moved to the 60-day injured list due to a broken finger.
