Braves aim for a Sunday sweep at home; Bart debuts after 4-3 win.

The Atlanta Braves are set to conclude their series with the Milwaukee Brewers at home, aiming for a series sweep after a 4-3 victory on Saturday. In the latest move, the Braves introduced catcher Joey Bart for his first start with the team. Bart, 29, had been acquired earlier in the week via trade.

Key details from the transaction include Bart coming to Atlanta from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for right-handed pitcher Hunter Stratton. To make room on the 40-man roster, catcher Sandy León was designated for assignment.

Manager Walt Weiss weighed in on Bart after Friday’s game, praising his presence and communication behind the plate. Weiss highlighted Bart’s readiness and passing accuracy on plays, noting that he has notable left-handed power and appears confident in his approach and handling of the game from behind the plate.

Bart’s arrival adds another option behind the plate, with expectations that his power and defense will contribute to the team’s lineup as the season progresses. The Braves will look to capitalize on home-field advantage as they complete the series against the Brewers, aiming for another win to secure the sweep.

Additional context from recent team coverage emphasizes Bart’s potential impact, his readiness, and the managerial endorsement of his game-calling and leadership qualities during his early actions with the club.
