Withrow was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Kevin McAlpin of the Braves Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves needed reinforcements for their bullpen after Casey Kelly, who was previously scheduled to start Saturday, was forced to fire 77 pitches in relief during Wednesday's 13-inning marathon match with the Brewers. Withrow has been lights out for the Triple-A squad, not allowing a run and striking out 10 batters in 8.1 innings out of the bullpen, making him a clear callup candidate. He'll likely work in lower-leverage situations until the Braves are in need of a fifth starter again. To make room for him on the roster, starting pitcher Casey Kelly was optioned to Triple-A.
