Braves option James to Richmond
Posted on April 24th, 2008 - 10:23 pm by BaseballTalkOnline
After their game tonight, the Braves optioned Chuck James to Triple-A. James was called up by the Braves when Tom Glavine went to the disabled last last week. With Glavine set to return to the team on Tuesday, James was sent out tonight to give the Braves the option of carrying another reliever in their weekend series against the Mets.
During James second stint with the Braves this year, he made two starts and recorded two wins for the Braves. He pitched five innings in both starts and will now head back to Richmond to continue stretching himself out as a starter.
The Braves haven’t announced who they’re calling up to take his spot on the roster as of yet.
