The Atlanta Braves had a busy Tuesday and announced a series of moves before the evening contest with the Chicago White Sox. Up first, the club announced the promotion of right-handers Dane Dunning and Connor Seabold, followed by the demotion of righties Daysbel Hernández and Hunter Stratton.
Dunning appeared in Tuesday’s game, where he threw a scoreless inning and struck out two. Seabold also made an appearance, logging 1.1 innings, giving up two runs.
