Touki Toussaint’s stay on the bereavement list following the passing of his father is over, and the Braves have optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
This latest move continues a whirlwind of roster moves for the young right-hander. Toussaint started the season on the Injured List, made rehab starts at three different levels, and was finally recalled to Atlanta after the All-Star Break. After a couple of good outings, including a seven-inning domination of the Phillies that constituted his best career start to date, Toussaint began to scuffle, mostly throwing up clunkers (a good game against the Orioles aside).
