Dylan Dodd News: Optioned to Gwinnett

Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Dodd will depart Atlanta's bullpen in order to make room on the pitching staff for Hurston Waldrep, who was recalled to start the first game of Saturday's twin bill against the Marlins. Dodd owns a 3.80 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through 21.1 big-league innings on the year, giving him a good chance to return to Atlanta at some point before the end of the season.
