Frank Brooks claimed off waivers by Braves
John Schuerholz is understandably getting a bit antsy watching Tom Martin get lit up like a Christmas tree these first two weeks. On Tuesday, the Braves claimed left-handed pitcher Frank Brooks off waivers from the Dodgers. In 11 games with the Pirates last season he posted an 0-1 record and a 4.67 ERA. He has been assigned him to the Class AAA Richmond Braves. This will hopefully be the precursor to more significant moves that will soon bolster the Braves’ ailing bullpen, especially from the left side.
