The Atlanta Braves , like all other 29 MLB teams, are currently in the midst of the All-Star break. The All-Star game has concluded, and for most teams, the final two-month stretch of the regular season will open up on Friday.
However, just because it's the All-Star break does not stop roster transactions from taking place.
Over the All-Star break, the Braves re-signed a player in a roster move that has gone under the radar a bit.

Per his MLB.com transactions tracker, it appears that a few days ago the Atlanta Braves brought back 5-year MLB player Jose Azocar on a minors deal. He has since been reassigned to Triple-A Gwinnett, but Azocar was booted from the Braves' 40-man roster about a week ago.
MLB.com wrote (on July 13): " Atlanta Braves signed free agent RF José Azócar to a minor league contract."
Jose Azocar has mostly appeared in the minors this season, but he has seen a handful of at-bats with the Braves' big league squad.
Across 17 at-bats with the Braves in 2026, Jose Azocar has six hits, including two doubles and two runs scored.
