Jhancarlos Lara - Moved off 40-man roster Atlanta designated Lara for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Lara was a roster casualty with Atlanta needing to clear a 40-man spot for first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez, who was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. A 23-year-old righty, Lara was up with Atlanta for a brief spell last September but didn't get the chance to make his big-league debut. He had pitched exclusively for Double-A Columbus thus far in 2026, logging an 8.22 ERA, 2.65 WHIP and 21:29 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

Rowdy Tellez - Back in big leagues with Atlanta Atlanta selected Tellez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Atlanta placed star outfielder Ronald Acuna (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list to clear room on the active roster for Tellez, an eight-year big-league veteran who will reach the majors for the first time in 2026. Though the 31-year-old Tellez showed during his time at Gwinnett that he can still hit for power (.483 slugging percentage) and get on base at a steady clip (14.7 percent), he likely won't have a path to regular playing time while he's up with Atlanta. Unless Atlanta shows a willingness to use Dominic Smith in the corner outfield while Acuna is on the shelf, Tellez will likely be limited to a pinch-hitting role while Smith and Matt Olson are ahead of him on the depth chart at designated hitter and first base, respectively.

Ronald Acuña Jr. - Lands on IL with strained hamstring Atlanta placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left hamstring.

Impact Acuna injured his hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the White Sox while trying to beat out an infield single. The outfielder missed a little over two weeks of action in May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, though it's unclear what the grade of strain is this time around. Atlanta could use Mauricio Dubon more in the outfield while Acuna is shelved, and Eli White should also see a playing time boost.

JR Ritchie - Returning to big leagues Atlanta recalled Ritchie from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Ritchie had an up-and-down first stint in the majors, posting a 4.91 ERA and 21:16 K:BB over 25.2 innings in his five starts. It appears he will operate in a relief role this time around, providing the team with a bullpen arm capable of covering multiple innings.

Tyler Kinley - Shelved with inflamed elbow Atlanta placed Kinley on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right elbow inflammation.

Impact The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Kinley could have a chance at returning to the Atlanta bullpen when first eligible June 23 if his elbow inflammation proves to be mild and he's able to resume throwing within the next few days. The right-hander has been a key part of the bridge to the ninth inning for Atlanta this season, notching four wins and 10 holds while pitching to a 3.18 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB across 28.1 frames.

Carlos Carrasco - DFA'd by Atlanta again Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Carrasco has been removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster before re-signing on three occasions this season, and the two parties could link back up again after he clears waivers. The veteran hurler holds a 3.00 ERA and 4:1 K:BB over nine innings with the big club this season.

James Karinchak - Contract selected Atlanta selected Karinchak's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Karinchak will get a look with the big club after putting up a 2.45 ERA and 38:10 K:BB over 25.2 innings with Gwinnett. The 30-year-old has not appeared in the majors since 2023 and will likely work in low-leverage spots initially.
