DENVER -- The Braves have optioned Tommy Hanson to Triple-A Gwinnett and
added Luis Valdez to their bullpen mix for this weekend's series against the
Rockies at Coors Field.
With Javier Vazquez's lower abdominal strain making him unavailable, Kris
Medlen will start Sunday's series finale. Consequently, Medlen won't be
available to serve in his long relief role on Friday and Saturday.
Valdez, who has posted a 3.00 ERA and notched 16 saves in 37 appearances with
Gwinnett this year, will provide the bullpen with some much-needed depth.
Having pitched each of the previous three days, left-handed reliever Mike
Gonzalez will likely be unavailable for Friday night's game.
Hanson, who is 4-0 with a 2.85 ERA through the first seven starts of his
career, will be eligible to be promoted back to the Majors in time to make
his first scheduled turn after the break.
As long as he's healthy enough to pitch, Vazquez could face the Mets on July
19 and Hanson could start the series opener against the Giants the next day.
