Brent LillibridgeNo, neither is a trade involving Mark Teixeira or Will Ohman, but the Atlanta Braves did make two roster moves over the past two days. On Monday, they designated RP Vladimir Nunez for assignment, and activated RP Rafael
Soriano off of the DL. Tuesday, the Braves activated UTIL Omar Infante from
the DL, shipping SS Brent Lillibridge to AAA Richmond.

In a road trip, those are the first two, of what could be many impactful
roster moves. Still nothing regarding Teixeira or Ohman, but don’t be
surprised if one or both is gone by the end of the week.

The Braves send pitchers Manny Acosta and Jeff Bennett along with utilityman Omar Infante to the disabled list late last night. 

Acosta pitched well on Sunday, but strained his right hamstring trying to run to first base to avoid a double play.

Bennett hurt his right shoulder on a throw he made on Saturday.

Infante, like Acosta hurt himself on Sunday when he re-injured his right groin in the 3rd inning.  He first strained his groin on June 25th.
