The Atlanta Braves made a move to help their struggling bullpen Friday, selecting the contract of right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. from Triple-A Gwinnett.
To make room for Edwards, the Braves designated veteran right-hander Nate Jones for assignment.
Edwards, 29, will pitch for his fourth big-league team in the past three seasons when he makes his Atlanta debut. After breaking into the majors with the Chicago Cubs in 2015, Edwards proved to be a key bullpen piece by posting a combined 3.03 ERA with 213 strikeouts in 154 1/3 innings for the Cubs from 2016-18, which included a 2016 World Series title.
