One, two, one, two, three, four! It’s the bullpen polka!
The Braves have made uh one, uh two, uh one, two, three, four (actually five) roster moves before Game 1 of the doubleheader between Atlanta and the Washington Nationals.
The Braves selected Jose Suarez to the major league roster and will start Game 1 of the doubleheader. Nathan Wiles has been recalled to Atlanta from Triple-A Gwinnett. Connor Seabold and Alexis Diaz have been sent the other direction to Gwinnett. I think Triple-A has a week left, but it’s whatever.
Jose Suarez becomes the 18th starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braces this season. I believe that is a record. Jose has a 2.45/6.42/6.32 line in a limited 7.1 innings. Nathan Wiles is another multi inning option for the Braves from Gwinnett for the doubleheader as well. Connor Seabold dutifully soaked up innings for the Braves earlier this season, but did not manage to record an out late last night. Alexis Diaz did get 3 outs last night, but he has been jettisoned as well for some longer arms.
And Sean Murphy is placed on the 60-day Injured List, which was all but a formality given his injury. Yuck.
