This afternoon the Atlanta Braves announced that they optioned Adam McCreery and Wes Parsons to Gwinnett. To take their places in the bullpen they recalled lefty Chad Bell and selected the contract of Chad Sobotka.
Parsons worked five emergency innings in the last game of the Nationals series when Anibal Sanchez left the game with a leg injury.
Parsons allowed four runs on six hits, walked three and struck out three while taking the loss Thursday.
