The Atlanta Braves continued to shuffle things around and kicked off Friday with a few moves in the bullpen. First, the club announced that righty Anthony Molina was recalled to Atlanta, fellow righty James Karinchak was optioned to Triple-A, and lefty Danny Young was reinstated from the injured list. Finally, righty Ian Hamilton was designated for assignment.
The moves provide the Braves with a fresh look in the bullpen as they continue searching for consistency in the late innings. Molina returns after a strong stretch in Triple-A, while Young gives Atlanta another left-handed option following his stint on the injured list. Meanwhile, Hamilton’s DFA opens a spot on the 40-man roster as the club continues to reshape its pitching staff ahead of the second half.
