On Wednesday afternoon, just as the Trade Deadline passed, the Atlanta Braves designated 23-year-old pitcher, Luiz Gohara, for assignment. A former top-100 prospect, Gohara was sidelined for the rest of the 2019 season with a shoulder injury a few weeks back.
#Braves pitching prospect Luiz Gohara will miss the entire season after having shoulder surgery. The arthroscopic procedure was characterized as a clean-out/exploratory operation, to alleviate soreness he's had since spring training. No significant tissue damage was discovered.

Originally signed out of Tupã, São Paulo, Brazil in 2012 by the Seattle Mariners, Gohara spent his first four seasons hovering between rookie and A-ball in the system.
