"Martin Pérez, who the team brought in as a minor league free agent, didn't make the Opening Day roster but was brought-up to the big leagues shortly-there-after and has appeared in three games - starting twice, including last night's loss to the Guardians."
"Dodd, who had minor league options remaining, was a bit of an odd-man out for the Opening Day roster. He will give the team another left-handed option in the bullpen."
"Pérez, a 16-year veteran, could get claimed given his effectiveness with Atlanta - 14.1 innings pitched with a 0.907 WHIP, despite only striking out six batters."
"Because of scheduled off-days, the Braves don't need a fifth starter for another 10 days, at which time they will need to make a move given they currently only have four starters."
The Atlanta Braves have designated starting pitcher Martin Pérez for assignment and recalled left-handed reliever Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett. Pérez, a 16-year veteran, appeared in three games for the Braves, starting twice. Dodd, who had minor league options remaining, will provide another left-handed option in the bullpen. Pérez has a 0.907 WHIP over 14.1 innings pitched. The Braves will need to address their starting rotation in 10 days, potentially activating Spencer Strider from the IL.
