Braves' Wilfredo Boscan: Claimed by Braves, placed on Triple-A DL

Boscan was claimed off waivers by the Braves on Tuesday and was then placed on the DL at Triple-A Gwinnett, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's David O'Brien reports.

It is unclear what the nature of his injury is, but Boscan was unlikely to be used at the big league level this year, so it's not entirely important. He was released by the Pirates after struggling in 15.1 innings out of the big league bullpen -- his first taste of the big leagues in a nine-year career in professional baseball.
