Braves recall Victor Mederos, option Conner Thomas

Prior to today’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Atlanta Braves recalled right-handed pitcher Victor Mederos and optioned lefty Conner Thomas to Triple-A.

Mederos appeared in one game back in late May for Atlanta, covering two innings in a victory against the Miami Marlins. He had pitched in a dozen games across three seasons with the Los Angeles Angels prior to his Braves debut. Thomas appeared for the Braves last night, allowing four runs in 3.2 innings pitched in his debut with Atlanta.

The Braves continue to churn pitchers on an almost daily basis. On a related note, the team’s transaction page shows the Carlos Carrasco has resigned on a minor league deal again.

Mederos has had middling results with Gwinnett this year, but can cover multiple innings, when needed.
