"The Braves announced Monday morning that they've selected the contract of veteran lefty Martín Pérez from Triple-A Gwinnett. Right-hander Didier Fuentes was optioned to Gwinnett to clear a spot on the active roster."
"Some fans will bristle at optioning Fuentes after he shined with four innings of one-run ball in long relief yesterday, but that four-inning appearance means he'd have been unavailable for the next few days anyhow."
"He'll surely be back in the fold before long, but the Braves will presumably be cautious with his workload this season. He pitched only 70 innings total between the minors and major leagues last year."
The Braves have selected the contract of veteran left-handed pitcher Martín Pérez from Triple-A Gwinnett. To make room on the active roster, right-hander Didier Fuentes has been optioned to Gwinnett. Fuentes had a strong performance recently, pitching four innings with only one run allowed, but this appearance would have made him unavailable for the next few days. The Braves are likely to manage his workload carefully this season, as he pitched only 70 innings last year across both leagues.
