The Atlanta Braves are back in the news with another notable trade.
First, let’s recap what the Braves have done so far. Atlanta has traded for Lane Thomas, Bailey Falter, Brent Suter, Tyler Mahle.
The Braves have let go of: Anthony Molina, Carter Holton, Nacho Alvarez Jr, Lucas Braun, and Joey Bart.
As of 5:20 p.m. EST, the Atlanta Braves have also landed reliever Tyler Uberstine from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Eli White. After the Lane Thomas trade, Eli White became expendable, and Atlanta went ahead and offloaded him for another relief pitcher.

Eli White has played 69 games for the Atlanta Braves this season. Over 133 ABs, he’s batting .233 with five home runs, six doubles, and an OPS of .691. He spent parts of four seasons with the Atlanta Braves and has seven total MLB seasons under his career resume.
Across 215 games played with the Braves, White batted .233 with 16 home runs, 15 doubles, five triples, and an OPS of .677.
All things considered, Eli White was a very serviceable outfielder for the Braves when the team was dealing with injuries to more productive players.

Looking at Tyler Uberstine This Season
Tyler Uberstine is a 27-year-old pitcher who has pitched just 2.2 innings with the Red Sox this season.
He will likely be optioned to AAA Gwinnett (if he hasn’t already).
However, with AAA Worcester, Uberstine posted a 2.81 ERA over 32 innings pitched with 37 strikeouts.
He could play a role in the Atlanta Braves bullpen if Walt Weiss’s pen needs additional arms down the stretch of the regular season.
