Earlier this week, the Braves announced that they had designated Jair Camargo for assignment.
The Braves wrote (via X) on July 6: “The #Braves today also placed OF Eli White on the paternity list and selected OF José Azócar to the major league roster. To make room on the 40-man roster, the club designated C Jair Camargo for assignment.”
After going unclaimed on waivers, the Braves have now outrighted Camargo to Triple-A.
