Braves' Seth Elledge: Optioned to Triple-A

Elledge was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

Elledge was added to the 40-man roster this offseason but had always seemed like a good bet to start the season in the minors. The 26-year-old has a 4.63 ERA over 23 career relief appearances at the major-league level, all with the Cardinals.
