Braves Call Up Veteran Carlos Carrasco to Join Roster in Washington

Veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco is heading to the nation's capital after being called up by the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Carrasco joins the big league club as a corresponding move to Dylan Dodd being placed on the injured list. Known affectionately as 'Cookie,' Carrasco brings significant veteran experience to a Braves pitching staff currently managing several roster transitions. He is expected to provide immediate depth for the team during their series against the Washington Nationals.
