Atlanta Braves bring back former manager Fredi González as acting third base coach

The Atlanta Braves appointed former manager Fredi González as their acting third base coach on June 2, 2025, replacing Matt Tuiasosopo.
The coaching change followed ongoing struggles, with the Braves losing eight of their last 11 games and holding a 27-31 record in fourth place of the NL East.
General Manager Brian Snitker initiated the move, emphasizing the rarity of in-season coaching changes during his 14-year tenure and the need for an experienced coach to improve results at third base.
Snitker expressed enthusiasm about González returning to an on-field role, highlighting his valuable background with the Braves, Marlins, and Orioles, and added that he is confident González will perform exceptionally in his new position.
This change aims to help the Braves address performance gaps and foster stability, especially as González is expected to contribute immediately, while Tuiasosopo accepted a minor-league coordinator role.
