Ahead of Monday’s game, the Braves announced that they had released Tristin English from their organization.
MLB.com wrote (on June 21): “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
GettyTristin English #30 of the Arizona Diamondbacks hits a double for his first career hit in the third inning during the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on July 27, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
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.
