The Atlanta Braves completed yet another bullpen shuffle ahead of Friday’s contest in Philadelphia. Right-handers John Brebbia and Nathan Wiles joined Atlanta, while fellow righty Wander Suero and southpaw Austin Cox were demoted to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Suero and Cox both appeared in Thursday’s game, so the Braves now turn to the guys who have been working in Triple-A.
