Braves Matt Adams strikes out with the bases loaded to end the 7th inning against the Washington Nationals Monday, Aug. 17, 2020 in Atlanta.

The Braves released Matt Adams, the team announced Thursday. The move comes after the Braves designated Adams for assignment Sunday to make room for newly acquired left-handed pitcher Tommy Milone, obtained in a trade with the Orioles.

Adams hit .184 with two homers and nine RBIs in 16 games this season.
