    Weiss blasts 13-pitcher cap after Braves DFA Elieser Hernández

    The Atlanta Braves designated Elieser Hernández for assignment after he pitched effectively in his first 2026 big league game. Manager Walt Weiss criticized the 13-pitcher roster cap, arguing it forces teams to DFA effective pitchers. Baseball’s union is proposing rule changes to address roster churn, including limits on optional assignments and pay for pitchers after significant outings.
