Braves release Kyle Farmer, activate Yastrzemski from IL
The Atlanta Braves released veteran infielder Kyle Farmer after reinstating outfielder Mike Yastrzemski from the 10-day injured list, making him a free agent if he clears waivers. Farmer, who joined the Braves on a minor league deal, appeared sparingly and went 4-for-15 with a double, three RBIs and two runs in 12 big‑league games this season. The move comes as Yastrzemski returns from the IL, opening a roster spot for Atlanta. Farmer has spent parts of ten MLB seasons with multiple clubs, compiling a .247/.306/.387 batting line and a career OPS of .693, and could land with another organization on a minor league deal as an injury replacement option. Reports note he has played all infield positions except center field and right field, underscoring his role as a versatile depth piece. The club's latest shuffle also coincides with scheduling changes around upcoming games and personnel rotations during the stretch run.
