What happened: The Atlanta Braves returned a catcher from a rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list. The move brings a rostered catcher back into availability during the regular season.

Why it matters: The return gives Atlanta more flexibility behind the plate and could affect how the club manages starts, late-game substitutions and bench construction. It also signals the player cleared the final step of his recovery process after a rehab stint.

What to watch: Watch for the corresponding playing-time plan and whether Atlanta makes any additional roster move tied to the reinstatement.
