Braves Acquire Stratton, Sale to IL After Injury

News summary

The Atlanta Braves placed pitcher Chris Sale on the 60-day injured list after he fractured his rib cage on June 18, 2025, sidelining him until later in the season. To bolster pitching depth, the Braves acquired right-hander Hunter Stratton from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for minor league outfielder Titus Dumitru and cash. Stratton, 28, struggled in the majors this year but has posted a 3.65 ERA in 21 Triple-A games. Dumitru, a 2024 16th-round draft pick, was batting .231 with three home runs and 36 RBIs at High-A Rome. The Pirates also announced a rehab assignment for reliever Colin Holderman as part of their roster moves. Sale, the reigning 2024 Cy Young winner, had been pitching strongly before the injury.
