Braves claim pitcher Jose Ruiz from Phillies, hoping to strengthen their struggling bullpen.

The Atlanta Braves claimed right-handed pitcher Jose Ruiz from the Philadelphia Phillies' waiver wire, aiming to bolster their struggling bullpen. Ruiz, who had a high ERA with the Phillies, has a history of pitching over nine seasons with a 4.55 career ERA. The Braves will take on the remainder of Ruiz's salary as they seek to improve their playoff chances amid criticism of their bullpen management.
