Today the Braves made the roster move many expected when they called up utility man Pedro Ciriaco.
When Chris Johnson went on the DL it allowed the Braves to carry an extra pitcher in the event that Mike Foltynewicz had a rough start Friday night. Folty was very good and looks like being up for a while but carrying 13 pitchers left the bench a bat short; Ciriaco fills that spot.
Roster Promises Kept
You may remember that Ciriaco was named to the 25 man roster on the last day of spring training and wept for joy when skipper Fredi Gonzalez gave him the news.
