Reinforcements for the first-place Atlanta Braves are continuing to make their way back to the majors.

We saw Spencer Strider make his 2026 debut in yesterday’s Rockies series finale and Raisel Iglesias will be activated off the Injured List tomorrow .

Today, the Braves have provided updates on Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim.

Sean Murphy

Ahead of tonight’s game against the Seattle Mariners, Sean Murphy has been reinstated to the major league club after heating up at the plate in Gwinnett. He’ll bat seventh and catch for SP JR Ritchie.

Jonah Heim has been designated for assignment in the corresponding roster move. We will forever remember you and The Jonah Heim game of May 3, 2026.

Ha-Seong Kim

Per Chad Bishop of the AJC, Kim will move from the Double-A Columbus Clingstones to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers. Joyous news on this, the fourth day of AANHPI Month.

In his four games with the Clingstones, the right middle finger tendon is looking alright – Kim was batting .333 (3-for-9) with three runs scored and one stolen base. He’ll join the Stripers on the road as they start a six-game road trip tomorrow night versus the Norfolk Tides.

Mauricio Dubón and have been valuable and versatile contributors so far, and Walt Weiss has been making the most with the depth he’s been given. But it’s exciting to think of how much deeper this team can be after Kim returns.
