Braves Adjust Bullpen Roster Amid Challenges

Brian Snitker announced that Grant Holmes will transition to the bullpen, filling a multi-inning role for the Atlanta Braves as Reynaldo Lopez returns to health. Meanwhile, Michael Kopech has shown promise as a potential closer for the Dodgers but faces uncertainty due to manager Dave Roberts' non-committal stance and concerns about Kopech's workload. The Boston Red Sox's bullpen struggles continue to derail their playoff hopes, as evidenced by recent blown saves and a league-leading 6.93 ERA since the All-Star break. The Texas Rangers have made several roster moves, including optioning reliever Anderson after a strong performance from Garabito. Lastly, the St. Louis Cardinals might shift Steven Matz to the bullpen upon his return from injury in hopes of salvaging their season.
