The Atlanta Braves announced a shuffling of the bullpen following the 13-0 blowout loss to the Phillies. They recalled right-hander Kevin Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett and optioned right-hander Michael Petersen in a corresponding move.
Herget was claimed off waivers from the Mets May 18 and immediately assigned to Gwinnett. In 10 appearances with the Stripers, he has a 3.86 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP over 11 2/3 innings pitched. The 34-year-old righty made one appearance with the Mets before being designated for assignment on May 15.
He pitched two innings, allowing two runs, one earned, on three hits and no walks while punching out a batter.
