The Atlanta Braves have designated Nick Masset and Dana Eveland for assignment, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. The team has also called up David Carpenter and Arodys Vizcaíno.
The move comes after Masset gave up three runs on two hits and a walk in the tenth inning of Atlanta’s game against the Phillies on Sunday. Masset, 33, pitched 15 1/3 innings for the Braves, posting a 6.46 ERA. Eveland, 31, on the other hand gave up the sac fly that scored the Phillies first run.
