The Atlanta Braves have made a significant roster change by designating starting pitcher Martin Pérez for assignment and recalling left-handed reliever Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett. Pérez, who has a 16-year career, joined the Braves as a minor league free agent but did not make the Opening Day roster. He appeared in three games for Atlanta, starting twice, and pitched 14.1 innings with a 0.907 WHIP, although he only struck out six batters. Dodd, who was an odd man out during the Opening Day roster selection, returns to provide the team with another left-handed option in the bullpen. If Pérez clears waivers, the Braves are likely to keep him with the Gwinnett Stripers for depth.
