Huge Boost: Braves make roster move as All-Star breaks begins, what could be next?

As the All-Star festivities kick off in Texas, the Braves have made a minor roster adjustment by outrighting outfielder Brian Anderson to Gwinnett. This move, though small and involving a player who had minimal playing time, could signal something more significant on the horizon.

The roster spot opened by Anderson’s move could indicate several possibilities. One is that Michael Harris II might be fully healthy and not require a rehab assignment, potentially being activated after the All-Star break. Another possibility is the return of Ramon Laureano, who is currently on the injured list with an oblique injury.

Additionally, this move could be a precursor to a trade.

The Braves are widely expected to add at least one outfielder before the trade deadline, possibly even multiple players. While the deadline is still a few weeks away, this is typically when trade activity starts to ramp up.

Stay tuned, as we will provide updates as soon as any official announcements are made.
