On Monday night, the Atlanta Braves will be in California to open up a series with the San Diego Padres.
The Braves are coming off a strong showing against the Milwaukee Brewers where they took two out of three games (at Truist Park).
UPDATE: The Braves lost Monday’s game 1-0.
Braves Announce Release Of Player
Ahead of Monday’s game, the Braves announced that they had released Tristin English from their organization.
MLB.com wrote (on June 22): “Gwinnett Stripers released OF Tristin English.”
English did not appear in a game for the Braves.
He had been on a Minor League deal.
Right now, English is batting .163 with eight hits, one home run, four RBIs, five runs and one stolen base in 17 Triple-A games for Gwinnett.
Looking At English
English was picked in the 3rd round of the 2019 MLB Draft (out of Georgia Tech in Atlanta).
He appeared in seven MLB games for the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 2025 season.
It will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on him now that he is available.
Looking At The Braves
The Braves come into their series with the Padres as the first-place team in the National League East with a 48-28 record in 76 games.
They have gone just 3-7 over their last ten games (but are 24-14 in 38 games on the road).
Following three games in San Diego, the Braves will visit the San Francisco Giants on Friday night at Oracle Park.
Looking At The Padres
On the other side of Monday’s matchup, the Padres are the second-place team in the National League West with a 39-37 record in 76 games.
They have gone 5-5 over their last ten games (and are 19-19 in 38 games at home in San Diego).
