Braves, Royals, Padres, Giants Option Pitchers to Triple-A

The Atlanta Braves optioned right-handed pitchers Davis Daniel and Wander Suero to Triple-A Gwinnett following a poor performance in a 9-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, where they gave up a combined nine runs and six walks. Daniel allowed five earned runs over five innings, while Suero gave up four runs in two innings. The Braves recalled left-hander Dylan Dodd, who has a 3.75 ERA in 11 relief appearances, and right-hander Hunter Stratton, acquired from Pittsburgh on July 1, to bolster their pitching staff. Other MLB teams also made similar roster moves: the Kansas City Royals optioned Andrew Hoffmann back to Triple-A Omaha after a brief major league stint, the San Diego Padres sent Bryan Hoeing to Triple-A El Paso as he recovers from a shoulder injury, and the San Francisco Giants optioned Tristan Beck to Triple-A Sacramento to make room for fresh bullpen help. These transactions reflect ongoing adjustments by MLB teams to optimize pitching performance amid the season.
