ATLANTA -- The Braves recalled left-handed reliever Ray Kerr and designated Danny Young for assignment before their game Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
The 31-year-old Kerr last pitched in the big leagues for the Braves in 2024. He underwent Tommy John surgery that season and didn't pitch in 2025.
After completing his recovery, Kerr returned to the mound in mid-July and has pitched in nine games with four minor league affiliates, including Triple-A Gwinnett. He posted a 3.09 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 11â…” innings.
Young, a 32-year-old left-hander, went 0-1 with an 8.03 ERA in 16 appearances for the Braves. He gave up three earned runs, including a homer, in a 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
