The Braves optioned left-hander Mike Minor to the Gulf Coast League Friday in a strategic roster move to bring in an extra bullpen arm for the next couple of days.
Minor will make his start as scheduled Tuesday against the Mets, but in the meantime the Braves recalled Craig Kimbrel to add to the bullpen.
Because the Gulf Coast League season ends on Saturday, Minor won’t have to wait the requisite 10 days to return to the major league roster.

Carroll, not DOB
The article was written by Carroll Rogers, not David O’Brien.

So…Craig probably won’t be with Gwinnett when they come to Norfolk Tuesday…awesome….

Thanks for wizzing in my cornflakes on an otherwise decent Friday

Better yet, they said on the broadcast that Glaus will play out Gwinnett’s homestand, then go to Atlanta, so he won’t be there either. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if KK and McLouth don’t show up either. There are gonna be a ton of folks at the game who are going to be disappointed.

Yeah, I had seen in an article on the AJC site the other day that Glaus wasgoing to stay in Atlanta after the GBraves finish their homestand. KK left tonight with an injury, so I really don’t expect him to make the trip north. I’m still holding out hope to see Nate, but I won’t be surprised at all if doesn’t come either.

i think this is a great move
venters is going to be fine, but a little more rest for a while will be good, kimbrel can help us rest him up for the final stretch and post season.
it doesnt matter
Bobby has shown the ability to neglect the solid BP arms we have for weeks at a time and wonder why they cant throw strikes
So, he is only going to be in the minors in between his scheduled starts? Or, is KK going back into the rotation?
