Garrett Cooper and Jordan Weems were released by the Atlanta Braves organization, following their underwhelming performances with the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers. Cooper, a seasoned MLB veteran, struggled to find his form with a low OPS and significant strikeouts. Initially brought in to provide depth at first base, his limited impact ultimately led to his departure. Similarly, Weems struggled with his ERA and overall effectiveness after a challenging previous season. Both players were seen as candidates for important roles but failed to deliver, prompting the Braves to make this decision as part of their roster management.
Cooper's struggles at the plate, with a .621 OPS and 33 strikeouts in just 35 games, contributed to his release from the Braves franchise.
Weems' inability to improve from last season's performance continued, as he posted a 5.09 ERA in 14 appearances for Gwinnett this year.
