"Mederos is heading to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he'll likely serve as roster depth in case the current big league pitching gets exhausted to the point where they need to dip into those particular reserves."
"Mederos pitched 17 big league innings last season and recorded a 7.41 ERA (179 ERA-) and a 7.19 FIP (171 FIP-). He has a career 8.53 ERA (206 ERA-) and a 6.95 FIP (166 FIP-), so it's safe to say that the Braves aren't exactly getting an ace here."
"AJ Smith-Shawver is now on the 60-Day IL in order to make room for Mederos on the 40-man roster. AJSS underwent Tommy John surgery back in June 2025 so he's still a few months away from even considering a serious comeback."
The Braves traded for pitcher Victor Mederos from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for international bonus pool considerations. Mederos will join Triple-A Gwinnett as roster depth. He has a history of poor performance, with a 7.41 ERA last season and a career 8.53 ERA. The Braves are currently managing an injury crisis, with AJ Smith-Shawver on the 60-Day IL due to Tommy John surgery, necessitating the addition of Mederos to the roster.
