The Braves found themselves in a bit of a quandary ahead of Friday night’s game in that they didn’t have a scheduled starter, without any promising avenues in the high minors or the 40-man roster. We speculated that they might attempt to solve this challenge in a number of different ways, such as a bullpen game (perhaps with bulk thrown by Lucas Luetge, who hasn’t pitched since Opening Day), but it appears they’ll just recall Jared Shuster and go from there:
The #Braves today recalled LHP Jared Shuster to Atlanta and placed RHP Collin McHugh on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
