Braves' Tyler Thornburg: Designated for assignment

Thornburg was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Monday.

Thornburg had been with the team since the start of the season and pitched competently enough in nine relief appearances with a 3.86 ERA, though his 21.3 percent strikeout rate and 10.6 percent walk rate were both sub-par. He'll exit the roster to clear space for Dylan Lee, who was recalled in a corresponding move.
