Eric Stults headed to bullpen; Williams Perez to start Wednesday

Eric Stults has been removed from the rotation, with Williams getting the first crack as his replacement on Wednesday.

After just seven starts in an Atlanta Braves uniform, it appears that the Eric Stults experiment could be over for good.

Williams Perez will start in place of Stults on Wednesday. Stults will go to the pen.
