Atlanta will go with a bullpen game for the first time this season.
Rather than making a roster move, the Atlanta Braves will go with a bullpen game for Friday’s series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves announced Friday morning that Jesse Chavez will get the start.
The Braves acquired Chavez from the Cubs on April 21 in exchange for Sean Newcomb. He has appeared in five games since returning to Atlanta and has allowed eight hits and no runs in seven innings.
