Braves send Owen Murphy to Triple-A, add veteran Elieser Hernández

As the season reaches its midpoint, the Atlanta Braves sent right‑hander Owen Murphy to Triple‑A to give the young arm more seasoning, creating a temporary gap in the rotation. The club then signed veteran right‑hander Elieser Hernández to a contract, reinforcing the staff ahead of the looming trade deadline.

Hernández brings major‑league experience that the Braves hope will boost their playoff push.
