Braves' Jason Hursh: Outrighted from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Hursh was outrighted to Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
This move cast Hursh off the Braves' 40-man roster. He hasn't appeared in a big-league game this season, instead spending a majority of this season at the Triple-A level. Across 39 games with Gwinnett, he logged a 3.98 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 45 strikeouts in 52 innings.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Sent to minors
Rotowire
Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Hursh made nine appearances at the major-league level last year, and despite a 5.06 ERA, the results were much better than during his previous brief stint in the majors. He'll open the year again in the minors but could always be called upon as a bullpen depth option.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Brought up as 26th man for twin bill
Rotowire
Hursh was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as the Braves' 26th man for their doubleheader Wednesday with the Phillies.
Hursh has previously made nine appearances as a reliever for the Braves this season, logging a 5.06 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 10.2 innings. He'll provide the team with some extra length out of the bullpen, but it's not expected that he'll be used in high-leverage situations if the Braves have other options available to pitch. The right-hander will only be available for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Hursh's fifth stint in the majors in 2017 was a rough one, as he pitched five innings over three appearances and allowed five runs on eight hits. The 25-year-old found some success in the Braves' bullpen in June, so he'll likely get another chance this season, at the very least when rosters expand in September.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Recalled by Braves
Rotowire
Hursh was recalled by the Braves on Thursday.
The back-and-forth season continues for Hursh, who returns to the big leagues for the second time this month and the fifth time this season. The 25-year-old righty will likely provide depth in the Atlanta bullpen in low-leverage situations, but has been solid over 5.2 innings with the Braves thus far, allowing just one run on five hits in that short span.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Returns to minors
Rotowire
Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
The 25-year-old reliever will return to the minors now that both Sean Rodriguez and Danny Santana are back from the DL. Hursh didn't make a single appearance during this most recent cup of coffee in the big leagues, but his strong showing earlier in the season could help him jump back into Atlanta's bullpen later in the summer.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Recalled from Gwinnett on Friday
Rotowire
Hursh was promoted back to Atlanta on Friday.
Hursh comes back to the big-league team in response to Jason Motte's (back) placement on the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's series opener against the Diamondbacks. During six appearances with the Braves this season, Hursh has accumulated a 1.59 ERA with a WHIP of 1.41 over the course of 5.2 innings of work. The 25-year-old will be another right-handed arm out of the bullpen, but is likely only going to be in the majors for a couple of weeks before returning to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Sent down Wednesday
Rotowire
Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
With Bartolo Colon's return from the disabled list (oblique), Hursh proved to be the casualty, getting the demotion Wednesday prior to Colon's start against the Padres. During his few weeks with the team, Hursh tossed 5.2 innings of relief, allowing one earned run with four strikeouts and three walks allowed. Although his outings weren't overly impressive, Hursh will likely get another chance with the team in the near future.

Hursh was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
With Eric O'Flaherty (shoulder) being placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Hursh receives the call to rejoin the big-league bullpen. The 25-year-old owns a 4.67 ERA and 20:3 K:BB ratio over 17.1 innings of relief work with Gwinnett this season. He'll work in a low-leverage role with the Braves for the time being.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Lands big-league gig
Rotowire
Hursh was recalled from Double-A Mississippi on Tuesday, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
Hursh will take the roster spot of Bartolo Colon (oblique), who was recently placed on the disabled list. He'll take over a mid-relief role for now, although Hursh seems like a logical candidate to be optioned when the Braves need a starter to fill Colon's scheduled start Saturday.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Optioned to minors
Rotowire
Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Kevin McAlpin of the Braves Radio Network reports.
The right-hander returns to Triple-A without making an appearance after his Wednesday call-up. Meanwhile, it seems the Braves are preferring to move forward with Luke Jackson, who was recalled in a corresponding move. Hursh should continue to see plenty of relief opportunities at Gwinnett and could be in line for another shot at the big leagues down the road.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Receives call to Atlanta
Rotowire
Hursh was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Kevin McAlpin of the Braves Radio Network reports.
The Braves needed another warm body in the bullpen after placing Chaz Roe (back) on the disabled list, so Hursh will get his second cup of coffee with the Braves. The 25-year-old struggled immensely in his first taste of the big leagues last season, but he's held Triple-A opponents scoreless in two appearances this season, so he'll look to carry that into the majors.

Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The right-hander was in the conversation for a bullpen role with the big league club, but after giving up four runs on six hits across just three innings, the Braves decided to pull the plug on his chances for now. However, Hursh's strong 2016 campaign between Double-A and Triple-A suggests that he could find his way back to the majors sometime later this season.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Will compete for bullpen spot this spring
Rotowire
Hursh will compete for a spot in the Braves' bullpen this spring.
The 2013 first-round pick made an inauspicious major league debut in 2016, but Hursh's numbers in the high minors suggest he could have a future as a long man down the road, although one with a low fantasy ceiling due to his reliance on ground balls rather than strikeouts. The 25-year-old may be a long shot to break camp with the Braves, but a quick start for Triple-A Gwinnett could earn him another call up.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Hursh was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
He was sent packing to clear room on the roster for closer Arodys Vizcaino (oblique). The 24-year-old was an obvious candidate for demotion following his four-run blowup against the Twins on Wednesday -- he managed to record one out on 26 pitches. Look for Hursh to return to the Braves' bullpen when rosters expand in September.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Called up from Triple-A Gwinnett
Rotowire
Hursh was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Hursh has thrown just seven innings with Triple-A Gwinnett this season, however, all of said innings have been scoreless. Before heading up to Gwinnett, Hursh had been at Double-A Mississippi, where he posted a 2.05 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 57 innings of action. However, a subpar walk rate of 11 percent gives the 24-year-old plenty of room for improvement.

Braves' Jason Hursh: Will join Braves Friday
Rotowire
Hursh will be called up by the Braves on Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
On the season, Hursh has a combined 1.83 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 64 relief innings between Double-A and Triple-A. The 24-year-old will join the Braves bullpen that has been decimated by injuries and should make his major league debut at some point in the upcoming series against the Nationals.
