Braves News: Zach Logue recalled, Reynaldo López update, six game skid, and more

The Atlanta Braves announced a couple of moves ahead of Friday’s series opener at Coors Field. The club recalled southpaw Zach Logue to Atlanta and optioned right-hander Parker Dunshee to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Logue was added as a fresh arm for the series in Denver, and although he wasn’t used Friday, his time will surely come, given the Braves’ current pitching situation.
