Braves' Dan Winkler: Reinstated from 60-day DL

Winkler (elbow) was activated from the 60-day disabled list Monday.

Winkler is finally ready to rejoin the Braves after missing nearly two full seasons with a fractured elbow. He compiled a 5.14 ERA and 14:4 K:BB through 14 innings across multiple minor-league levels while on a rehab assignment. He'll assume a lower-leverage role in the Braves' bullpen for the time being, but Winkler could work his way into higher-leverage work if he pitches well initially. Rex Brothers was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
