What happened: Atlanta's latest news-and-notes roundup centers on a roster move involving reliever Hunter Stratton, who was dealt away after being designated for assignment. The same update flags a rainout at Truist Park, scrambling the day's schedule. Several smaller items round out the Thursday digest.

Why it matters: Bullpen depth is a recurring storyline for a Braves club sitting at 46-27 but riding a three-game skid, so any change to the relief corps matters for the stretch ahead. A rainout also compresses the calendar, raising the prospect of makeup games and added strain on the pitching staff.

By the numbers: Atlanta enters at 46-27 on the season, scoring 5.0 runs per game while allowing 3.6, with a current three-game losing streak (last five LLLWL).

What to watch: Watch how Atlanta reshapes its bullpen following the Stratton move and whether the postponed game forces a doubleheader on the homestand.
