    Weiss blasts 13-pitcher cap after Braves DFA Elieser Hernández

    The Atlanta Braves designated right-hander Elieser Hernández for assignment after he earned a win in his first major league game since 2024. Braves manager Walt Weiss criticized the 13-pitcher roster cap, arguing it forces teams to DFA effective pitchers like Hernández. Baseball’s union is proposing rule changes to allow pitchers optioned after significant outings to receive pay and service time, but these wouldn’t have helped Hernández, who was DFA’d, not optioned.
