Braves sent RHP Joel Payamps, LHP Austin Cox, C Chuckie Robinson and OF Carlos Rodríguez outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.
All will likely become free agents. Payamps, an excellent setup man for the Brewers in 2023 and ’24, struggled throughout last season and was designed for assignment by Milwaukee on Sept. 20. The Braves picked him up for the last seven days of the season, and he allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings. They might have some interest in bringing him back at a cut from the $3 million he earned in 2025.
