The Atlanta Braves will be promoting left-handed pitcher Sam Freeman to fill the spot in the bullpen. That spot opened up on Wednesday night when the Braves optioned Matt Wisler to Gwinnett.
The 29-year-old was signed with the Braves on October 14, 2016 after being released by the Milwaukee Brewers 10 days prior. After signing a minor league contract with a Spring Training invite, the Braves assigned him to Gwinnett.
Freeman did appear in two Spring Training games for the Braves in 2017, but in only one completed inning, gave up six hits, six runs and two walks.
