Braves Designate Ian Hamilton for Assignment in Roster Move

The Atlanta Braves have designated pitcher Ian Hamilton for assignment on Wednesday. The roster move was made to clear a spot for 20-year-old Didier Fuentes, who was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the team's game against the Washington Nationals. Hamilton's departure comes as the NL East-leading Braves look to optimize their active roster while maintaining a five-game lead in the division standings. The move reflects the team's current focus on rotation depth and youth.
