ATLANTA -- The Braves altered the makeup of their bullpen on Sunday, when they recalled right-handed reliever Chris Withrow from Triple-A Gwinnett and informed John Gant that he was being sent to Gwinnett to serve as a starting pitcher.
Withrow was initially unhappy when the Braves optioned him to Gwinnett with two weeks remaining in Spring Training. But the veteran reliever has since come to realize the move was made in his best interest as he needed a little additional time to make the necessary preparations to return to the Majors for the first time since May 2014.
