This is a move strictly about getting a fresh arm in the bullpen. Mederos made his Braves debut yesterday in mop up duty and did a nice job, tossing a couple scoreless frames to ensure no other relievers were needed.
By now, you should know the job of Carlos Carrasco. He’s been recalled by the club seemingly a million times and is almost never used. He’ll soon be designated for assignment, likely clear waivers, and find himself back in Gwinnett until the Braves need another fresh arm in case of emergency.
Atlanta’s pitching staff finds itself in a really good spot entering the final four games of the week. Their big guys have only pitched once, and every notable arm in the bullpen got a day off yesterday in the Braves 9-1 route of the Fish. That’s important considering what’s ahead — a matchup with the Washington Nationals, who surprisingly lead all of baseball in runs scored with 279, averaging well over five per game.
