As expected, the Atlanta Braves reinstated veteran left-hander Cole Hamels Wednesday and he will start tonight’s series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. To make room on the active roster, the Braves optioned right-hander Jasseel De La Cruz back to the alternate training site. De La Cruz was brought up for the first time to the Major League roster on Tuesday to add another fresh arm to the bullpen but didn’t get into Tuesday’s game.

The #Braves today reinstated LHP Cole Hamels from the 45-day IL after optioning RHP Jasseel De La Cruz to the alternate training site following last night’s game.
