Braves DFA Carrasco (3rd Time) and Recall Molina
Atlanta designated Carlos Carrasco for assignment again — his third DFA of 2026 — while bringing up Anthony Molina from the minors.
The Atlanta Braves officially designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment on May 29, 2026, marking the third time this season he has received that designation. The club simultaneously recalled RHP Anthony Molina to the active roster. Molina has pitched two scoreless, hitless innings for Atlanta at the MLB level this season, with additional work in the minors spanning 30 innings. Carrasco is expected to re-sign with the organization on a minor league deal based on the pattern established by his previous DFA stints.
