New Bedford native Jared Shuster was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Thursday and will start against the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
It’s a quick opportunity for redemption after the rookie lefthander gave up four runs in the first inning of his debut in a 4-1 loss at Washington on Sunday. The Nationals’ first six batters reached base and Shuster trailed, 3-0, before recording an out.
Shuster, who made the Opening Day roster after only two minor league seasons by showing impressive control in spring training, issued five walks while allowing six hits in 4u2154 innings.
