The Braves have released lefty Eric O’Flaherty, per a club announcement. He had been on the 10-day DL.
A roster spot was needed so that catcher Anthony Recker could be brought up. Kurt Suzuki is on the bereavement list, creating the need for another backstop.
The 32-year-old O’Flaherty has continued to find work over the past several seasons, but hasn’t really been the same since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2013. In 18 1/3 innings this season, he struggled to a 7.85 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 4.4 BB/9.

Can someone tell me what the bereavement list is?

When somebody dies in your family and you get leave so you can attend the funeral/mourn, generally.
BorgDevil
Up to 3 days/games, IIRC
UpUpnHeaHea
Its when a family member dies you are given time off

No. That’s the restricted list. The Breavement list is when there’s a sudden, unexpected injury, not baseball related. It’s named after the infamous Earl Weaver incident when he was bit by a beaver. Hope this helps.

this is the best answer I’ve ever heard

Between him Romo and Ramirez some quality relief pitching just hit the open market. Washington needs to move in on these guys.

pepesilvia
I think your confusing Romo with Brian Wilson.. now Wilson he was bad
Paul Molitor

Article fails to mention that as of today Eric O’Flaherty is fully vested. Nice gesture by Atlanta to allow him to get there before they released him.

Meanwhile in Washington?
