What happened: The Atlanta Braves announced they have selected right-hander Carlos Carrasco to the major league roster. The move brings the veteran pitcher onto Atlanta's active roster and 40-man roster in a single transaction.

Why it matters: The selection comes just a day after Carrasco elected free agency and hit the open market, marking a quick landing spot for the veteran arm. Adding an experienced right-hander gives Atlanta another option for its pitching staff during the regular-season push.

What to watch: Watch for how the Braves deploy Carrasco — whether out of the bullpen or as a rotation option — and which arm is removed from the roster to make room.
