67 Wes Parsons SP

Parson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

As expected, Parsons will journey back down to the minors after tossing five innings of relief against the Nationals on Thursday after Anibal Sanchez (calf) exited early. During that outing, he allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three. In a corresponding move, Adam McCreery was also sent down to Gwinnett while Chad Sobotka and Chad Bell were called up to the majors.

Parsons was optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Just a day after being called up from Gwinnett, Parsons was cast off the active roster in order to make room for the recently acquired Kevin Gausman. Parsons has yet to make an appearance at the big-league level this season and will continue serving as organization depth in Triple-A.

Parsons was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Parsons has been a staple in Gwinnett's rotation for a majority of this season, logging a 2.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 55:18 K:BB across 62.1 innings. He will likely be utilized as a middle-relief option while with the Braves.
