The Atlanta Braves have announced their finalists for several major league awards, while left-handed pitcher Mitchell Parker has been claimed off waivers, according to team news released Tuesday.
The Braves' award finalists include players in contention for honors such as the Cy Young, MVP, and Rookie of the Year, though specific names were not disclosed in the initial announcement.
Parker, a 25-year-old southpaw, was claimed by Atlanta after being designated for assignment by his previous club. He posted a 4.82 ERA over 18 appearances this season.
In postseason action, ace Chris Sale started Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Truist Park on October 6, 2026, as the Braves look to advance in the playoffs.
