After a flurry of deadline moves, the Atlanta Braves announced that they have recalled right-hander Jay Jackson from Gwinnett. The team also confirmed that righty Jake Odorizzi has reported to the team and is part of the active roster.

The Braves acquired Jackson from the Giants during the offseason. A lat strain delayed the start of his season, but he has pitched well at Gwinnett since returning allowing two runs while striking out 11 in 10 innings.
