Braves claim pitcher Kevin Herget, option him to Triple-A
Briefly

The Atlanta Braves strengthened their pitching depth by claiming right-handed pitcher Kevin Herget off waivers from the New York Mets and assigning him to Triple-A Gwinnett. At 34 years old, Herget has previously played for teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and has a modest MLB career of 25 games with a notably low strikeout rate. While his past performance hasn’t been impressive, this acquisition allows the Braves flexibility in managing their roster moving forward, as they currently have an open spot on the 40-man roster.
