Daniel pitched a scoreless inning in his lone day in the majors. His demotion makes room for waiver claim Ian Anderson on the active roster.

Daniel provides the Braves with some extra long relief depth heading into Sunday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks. The 27-year-old hurler was acquired from the Angels last December and has yet to appear in the big leagues this season.

Daniel was acquired from the Angels back in December after making nine appearances (six starts) over the last two years, compiling a serviceable 5.06 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 37/15 K/BB ratio across 42 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old righty figures to operate in low-leverage spots for the Braves at some point this season.

Daniel was booted off the 40-man roster after the Angels acquired Chuckie Robinson from the White Sox. The 27-year-old struggled for most of 2024, but showed some flashes during the 2023 campaign. Atlanta will hope to find that version in 2025, but fantasy managers obviously shouldn’t bet on it.
