Atlanta adds another young arm to the bullpen

The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that they have recalled right-hander Roddery Munoz. He will take the place of Michael Soroka, who was voted back to Gwinnett on Monday. The team also announced that substitute Lucas Lütge approved the waivers and joined Gwinnett directly.

Munoz was added to the 40-man roster before the deadline to protect players from the Rule 5 draft. He spent most of the season at Gwinnett, where he posted a 4.63 ERA and 5.70 FIP in 23 1/3 innings. He could be a placeholder in the box until Dylan Lee or Michael Tonkin are ready to return from the injured list.

Luetge was drafted into action on May 30 to make room for AJ Smith-Shawver on the active roster. The Braves signed Luetge in a trade with the Yankees last season, but he had a hard time conceding 15 hits and 11 runs in just 9 2/3 innings.

Additionally, the team announced that Tonkin will begin a rehab session with Gwinnett Tuesday night. Tonkin was placed on the injured list on May 25 with a neck strain.
