The Atlanta Braves shuffled their pitching depth to the 40-man roster. They announced on Sunday that they claimed right-handed pitcher Connor Seabold and designated right-hander Domingo Gonzalez to make room on the 40-man roster.
Seabold was immediately optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Seabold was designated for assignment by the Rays on Aug. 8. In three games, he has a 1.35 ERA in 6 2/3 innings pitched. He hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since June 19. He spent most of the season with Triple-A Durham. In 16 games, 10 starts, he had a 6.49 ERA before being DFA’d
This is the second former Rays player the Braves have picked up in the last few days.
