ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves recalled rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Saturday’s first game of a split doubleheader against the Miami Marlins.

Waldrep (1-0) will be making his second start of the season after allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings in a 4-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 2.

The Marlins added right-hander Ryan Gusto to their roster as the 27th man for the doubleheader to start Game 1. Miami also recalled right-hander Tyler Zuber from Triple-A Jacksonville while right-hander Anthony Bender was placed on the paternity list.

Atlanta optioned left-hander Dylan Dodd and infielder Jonathan Ornelas to Triple-A Gwinnett.
