The Atlanta Braves have recalled Michael Petersen to replace Austin Cox following a poor performance. Cox's metrics show a notably ineffective spell, having a 73 ERA- and a lackluster xFIP, despite some strikeouts. Petersen, although previously not impactful, steps in as a theoretically better option, boasting a perfect K/BB ratio in a limited number of appearances. This move underscores the Braves' aim to maintain competitive momentum during the season, even as both pitchers have struggled in the minor leagues.
Cox's stint ended with a 73 ERA- and 19 xFIP-, having allowed a homer to Soto despite striking out five of 12 batters faced.
Petersen's multiple call-ups have seen him contribute as a break-glass solution, with a 2/0 K/BB ratio in just three innings this season.
