Braves reinstated LHP Aaron Bummer from the major league bereavement list
Bummer missed this weekend’s series against the Rays and will now return to his regular role in the Braves bullpen. He has a 5.40 ERA through five appearances so far this season. RHP Michael Petersen was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following yesterday’s game to clear room on the active roster.
Braves placed LHP Aaron Bummer on the bereavement list.
Bummer will be absent for this weekend’s series against the Rays. The left-hander has a 5.40 ERA in five appearances out of the Braves bullpen this season.
Braves agreed to terms with LHP Aaron Bummer on a two-year, $13 million contract.
It was reported last month that the Braves would exercise their $7.25 million option on Bummer, but he’s instead getting a new deal that pays him $3.5 million next season and $9.5 million in 2026. Bummer had a 3.58 ERA over 55 1/3 innings in his first season with the Braves.
The Braves plan to exercise the contract options of Aaron Bummer, Travis d’Arnaud and Marcell Ozuna, according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman.
Ozuna’s $16 million option had become an easy call, and expectations were always that d’Arnaud would be back, whether it was through the $8 million option year or not. Bummer was the tougher call at $7.25 million. He pitched 55 1/3 innings with a 3.58 ERA this year.
