The Atlanta Braves got their homestand off on a good note Friday night defeating the Seattle Mariners 6-2. After the game, Brian Snitker confirmed that Atlanta will go with a bullpen game Saturday with Jesse Chavez getting the start.
#Braves will start Jesse Chavez in a bullpen game Saturday.

The other option for Saturday seemed to be calling up Dylan Dodd from Gwinnett. However, with them coming off an off day Thursday while not having to go deep into the bullpen Friday night, a bullpen game makes some sense.
