"Dylan spit hot fire last night, striking out two and allowing only one hit over three rather low leverage innings last night. He did his job perfectly last night, but modern MLB bullpen management detests having unavailable pitchers if it can be avoided."
"Replacing Dodd is Rolddy Muñoz, who made it inside the house because he is a reliever with options. Muñoz had a bit of a shaky debut with the Braves last season. But he brings a 96 MPH sinker with him along with a slider with Gwinnett."
"We still don't know if the Dodd moves mean anything about Didier Fuentes coming back to grab the fifth starter spot. But that's something we'll worry about when the Braves need a fifth."
The Atlanta Braves, leading the NL East, have optioned pitcher Dylan Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett and replaced him with Rolddy Muñoz. Dodd performed well in his last outing, striking out two and allowing only one hit. However, modern MLB bullpen management prefers to avoid having unavailable pitchers. Muñoz, who had a shaky debut last season, brings a 96 MPH sinker and a slider. The implications of Dodd's move for the fifth starter spot remain uncertain.
