After the loss of Yasiel Puig before he had a chance to pick up a bat, the Atlanta Brave add two journeyman players to the Major League roster ahead of Saturday’s intrasquad game.
Josh Tomlin rejoins to the staff he supported from the bullpen last season. Now 35, the Braves appear to have Tomlin penciled into the fifth-starter spot. He was an integral piece of the Indians' rotation from 2014 through 2017, before pitching most of 2018 out of the pen.
Last season he appeared in 51 games with only one start, but threw five innings once and four innings in two other games last year.
