• Braves' Aaron Bummer: Moves on 60-day IL

  09/18/2025 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta transferred Bummer (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday. Left shoulder inflammation sent Bummer to the injured list in late August, and although he began a throwing program Saturday, his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. He'll give up his place on the 40-man roster to Brett Wisely, who was claimed off waivers from San Francisco in a corresponding move.

• Braves' Aaron Bummer: Starts up throwing program

  09/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta announced Saturday that Bummer (shoulder) has resumed a throwing program, but the left-hander hasn't yet been cleared for bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports. Bummer has been on the injured list since Aug. 24 due to left shoulder inflammation, and while he hasn't been shut down for the season, he's running out of time to complete his throwing program and rejoin the Atlanta bullpen. Prior to being shut down, Bummer recorded three wins and two holds while submitting a 3.81, 1.25 WHIP and 51:17 K:BB in 54.1 innings over 42 appearances for Atlanta.

• Braves' Aaron Bummer: Lands on injured list

  08/24/2025 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta placed Bummer on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left shoulder inflammation. The left-hander threw 1.1 scoreless innings Saturday against the Mets, which is presumably when he suffered the injury since that was his first appearance in nearly a week. Bummer will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 8, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

• Braves' Aaron Bummer: Struggles as opener Saturday

  07/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Bummer allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one batter over two innings in a no-decision as an opener against St. Louis on Saturday. Bummer was tabbed to open the bullpen game for Atlanta and gave the team two innings. While he was able to keep the ball in the strike zone, throwing 21 of 33 pitches for strikes and issuing zero free passes, he was tagged for three runs in the second frame, with two of the runs coming on a Nolan Gorman homer. It's not yet clear how Atlanta plans to fill the rotation spot that opened when Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) landed on the injured list in early July, so Bummer could be called upon to fill the same role after the All-Star break, though the team figures to eventually settle upon a traditional starter.

• Braves' Aaron Bummer: Opening Saturday's contest

  07/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Bummer will serve as Atlanta's opening pitcher in a bullpen game Saturday against the Cardinals. For the second Saturday in a row, Bummer will fill an opener role in a bullpen game while Atlanta has yet to settle on a permanent replacement in the rotation for Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow), who is likely to be sidelined until around September. In his previous turn as an opener last weekend against the Orioles, Bummer covered 2.1 innings, and Atlanta could be looking for him to handle a similar workload Saturday. Atlanta doesn't have an obvious candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind Bummer, though Jesse Chavez and the newly claimed Joey Wentz are available on three days' rest and should be capable of covering multiple frames, if needed.
