AutoDraft Pro AI

The Atlanta Braves are transitioning veteran right-hander Reynaldo López to the bullpen in an effort to help him regain his form. This roster move coincides with the team's decision to give one of their top prospects a second opportunity in the starting rotation. López, who has been a steady presence, will now provide experienced depth in relief as the Braves look to optimize their pitching staff during their league-leading start to the 2026 season and reach 20 wins.
