Braves' Matt Marksberry: Optioned to Triple-A Wednesday

Marksberry was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Marksberry was only with the Braves for five days, making two sub-par relief appearances that resulted in a 10.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 1.2 innings pitched. He will be sent back to Triple-A where he has had a fantastic season at Triple-A thus far (2.84 ERA) in order to make room for starting pitcher Joel De La Cruz.
