The Braves announced this morning that theyve selected the contract of right-hander . To make room for Suero on the 40-man and active rosters, right-hander was designated for a signment while right-hander was optioned to Triple-A. Suero, 33, is being called up to pitch in his seventh major league season. He made his big league debut with the Nationals back in 2018 and enjoyed a solid three-year run where he pitched to a 4.10 ERA (108 ERA+) with a 3.20 FIP and a 26.1% strikeout rate acro s 142 2/3 innings of work from 2018 to 2020. That stretch included D.C.s 2019 World Series championship, for which Suero was on the postseason roster and made three scorele s appearances during the World Series. Unfortunately, the good times came to an abrupt halt in 2021 as he turned in a brutal 6.33 ERA with a FIP of 5.80 in 45 appearances. It was a bad enough performance that he was non-tendered by Washington during the 2021-22 offseason, and in the years since then Suero has largely been relegated to work in the minor leagues. Hes pitched for the Angels, Dodgers, Sean Behrens Jersey Astros, and Braves in the upper minors over the past four seasons, and though he made it to the majors in both Los Angeles and Houston he sports a lackluster 7.88 ERA acro s six appearances. Despite that lackluster recent track record, Suero has looked nothing short of excellent at Triple-A Gwinnett for the Braves this year with a 1.50 ERA in 36 innings to go along with a 33.6% strikeout rate. Hell now get the opportunity to show himself to be a capable big league relief arm once again in a Braves bullpen that could certainly use reinforcements, especially ahead of a trade deadline where rental arms and could be dangled. Making room for Suero on the roster is Petersen, who has made four appearances for the Braves this year. The 31-year-old made his MLB debut last year and pitched for the Dodgers and Marlins before joining Atlanta. He has a 5.47 ERA in 26 1/3 innings of work over the past two seasons to go with a career 2.84 ERA at the Triple-A level. Its a solid enough resume that, when combined with the fact that Petersen has minor league options remaining, it wouldnt be a shock if he winds up plucked off waivers by a rival club. Atlanta will have one week to either trade Petersen or attempt to pa s him through waivers. If he goes unclaimed, theyll have the opportunity to outright him to the minor leagues as non-roster depth. Hernandez, meanwhile has been nothing short of excellent for the Braves over the past two seasons with a 2.25 ERA and 3.10 FIP, but has struggled to stay on the big league roster due to being one of only a few bullpen arms at Atlantas disposal with minor league options remaining. Hell surely be back up with the big league club at some point this season. Claude Lemieux Jersey
