Impact Cruz owns a 6.23 ERA and 6:4 K:BB in 8.2 major-league innings this season. Now that he's no longer on the 40-man roster, he's one step further away from getting his next chance at the highest level.

Impact Young made his big-league debut in mid-July, allowing three runs in 3.2 innings across a pair of relief appearances. The 28-year-old lefty has spent the bulk of the year with Triple-A Tacoma, where he owns a 3.86 ERA and a 33.9 percent strikeout rate in 28 innings of work.

Marcell Ozuna - On bench for afternoon game Ozuna will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Impact Ozuna has struggled to a .152/.176/.273 line across his last eight games, dropping his OPS on the season down to .670. Travis d'Arnaud will serve as the designated hitter for the afternoon game, but Ozuna should return for the nightcap.
AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eddie Rosario - Sitting for afternoon game Rosario will be on the bench for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Impact With lefty David Peterson on the mound for the Mets, Rosario will hit the bench in favor of Robbie Grossman. Expect Rosario to return against righty Max Scherzer in the nightcap.

Bryce Elder - Up as 27th man Elder is up as Atlanta's 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Elder had a 2.48 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings over five July starts at Triple-A. Jake Odorizzi and Max Fried will start the two games, with Elder serving as a potential long reliever if one of the starters exits early.

Impact Jansen made his first appearance of the month and coughed up a solo shot to Jeff McNeil.

Darren O'Day - Beginning rehab assignment O'Day (calf) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Rome on Friday.
Impact O'Day has been on the injured list since July 13 due to a left calf strain, but his rehab assignment should be the final step in his recovery process. It wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander require several appearances in the minors since he's been sidelined nearly a month, but he should be in consideration to rejoin Atlanta's bullpen soon.
