In addition to the Harris call-up, the Braves said catcher Sean Murphy will begin a rehabilitation assignment with High-A Rome tonight. Murphy, who has been dealing with an injury, will attempt to regain game action before rejoining the major-league club.
The changes were announced via the Braves’ official X account, which noted Harris’s recall to Atlanta and Muñoz’s assignment to Gwinnett following Monday’s game. The swap signals a strategic adjustment to bolster bullpen options while Muñoz logs innings at the minor-league level.
The Tuesday matchup marks the second game of the Braves-Marlins series at Truist Park, with Atlanta aiming to rebound after the lopsided loss. The team will rely on Harris to provide additional depth behind the rotation and to help stabilize a pitching staff coming off a rough performance.
Murphy’s rehabilitation assignment represents a gradual ramp-back for the catcher, who has been sidelined and experiencing limited action. A successful stint in Rome could accelerate his return to Atlanta’s active roster.
Atlanta’s roster moves underscore the team’s ongoing management of depth as the season progresses, balancing immediate needs with long-term development. Updates on Murphy’s progress and Harris’s performance will shape the Braves’ pitching plan for the remainder of the series.
