Dane Dunning News: Removed from 40-man

Dunning cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Dunning pitched 10 innings for Atlanta after joining the organization in July, during which he surrendered 12 earned runs while striking out 11 batters and walking two. The 30-year-old will have the option to elect free agency, though his recent performance may not attract more than a minor-league contract.
