ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have recalled left-handed pitcher Mike Minor and optioned reliever Craig Kimbrel to Triple-A Gwinnett.
The moves were announced Sunday before Atlanta’s game against the Florida Marlins.
Minor had been sent to the Gulf Coast League for a few days but it was merely a paper move, since he had been skipped over in the rotation and wasn’t scheduled to start again until Tuesday. Kimbrel gave the Braves an extra arm in the bullpen for the first two games of their series against Florida.
With the rookie league season over, Minor was officially recalled.
