ST. LOUIS -- The Braves selected the contract of reliever Madison Younginer from Triple-A Gwinnett and designated Brandon Snyder for assignment prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Younginer, a seventh-round Draft pick of the Red Sox in 2009, had spent the last six years in Boston's system before signing a Minor League deal with the Braves in the offseason.
He has posted a 3.46 ERA in 42 appearances, including 15 saves, between Double-A Mississippi and Gwinnett this season. He appeared in seven Triple-A games and gave up 11 runs (six earned) in 9 2/3 innings.
