Braves select Ian Anderson, option Hayden Harris, DFA Oswaldo Bido
It’s time for more bullpen shuffle/hokey-pokey
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have yet to lose a series this season, continue to bring pitchers in and out. Today, they made the week’s third reliever-related roster change (well, four if you consider Luke Williams a reliever). The #Braves today selected RHP Ian Hamilton to the major league roster and designated RHP Osvaldo Bido for assignment.
The club also optioned LHP Hayden Harris to Triple-A Gwinnett following last night’s game. Additionally, RHP Spencer Strider tonight begins a rehabilitation… — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) April 16, 2026 Hey, who knew that a 6. 30 ERA and 6/5 K/BB rate from a marginal pitcher might be a problem?
The Braves have designated Osvaldo Bido for assignment. When Martin Perez was announced as Friday’s starter last night, you knew that it was not going to be good news for someone. As it turned out, it was bad news for two someones, as Hayden Harris has also been sent to Gwinnett.
I’m not really sure what Harris did, as he has yet to pitch for the Atlanta Braves in 2026. Maybe he was standing too close to Osvaldo. So for Friday’s game, it’s Martin Perez and Ian Hamilton in, Osvaldo Bido and Hayden Harris out.
