Eddie Perez placed on 15-day DL, Brayan Pena recalled from Richmond
The injury parade continues for the Braves but this one may be a boon for the team’s offense. Eddie Perez was placed on the 15-day disabled list with tendonitis in his right shoulder. The Braves called up catcher Brayan Pena from Richmond. At the time of his call-up Pena owned a .417 batting average and .465 on-base percentage, best in the International League in both categories. Take your time coming back Eddie… We don’t want you to rush it and make things worse! 
Trey Hodges is back in the Braves system. The right-handed pitcher spent all of 2003 with Atlanta and part of last season with Richmond before defecting to the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese Central League. The Richmond Braves activated Hodges when Pena was recalled. He started the season in the Twins’ system, Rochester to be exact. He had tallied a 5.63 ERA and no decisions in 17 innings with the Red Wings this year before signing as a minor leage free agent with the Braves.
