Withrow (elbow) was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old missed all of the 2015 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2014. It appears the Braves want to ease Withrow back into action by allowing him to open the year in Triple-A. The former first-round pick posted a 2.95 ERA over 21.3 innings with the Dodgers in 2014 and could get the opportunity to contribute to the Braves' bullpen should he find similar success this season.
