Cody Gearrin struck out the side in his scoreless inning Monday against the Nationals.

On another team, Gearrin likely would have emerged as a bullpen fixture last year and wouldn't have anything to worry about this spring. On the Braves, he's still fighting to make the team, even though he's been quite impressive in throwing six scoreless innings and striking out nine this spring. It could come down to whether the Braves want to keep Anthony Varvaro, who, unlike Gearrin, is out of options.

Braves optioned RHP Cory Gearrin to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Gearrin has been terrific in his short time with the Braves this season, posting a 0.79 ERA and 1.15 WHIP while striking out 11 over 11 1/3 innings, but the team needed to clear a roster spot for Tommy Hanson, and the 26-year-old is the odd man out. He should be back next month.

Braves recalled RHP Cory Gearrin from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Gearrin posted an awful 7.85 ERA over 18 appearances for the Braves last year and has only had two uber-brief stints with the club this season. He's been dynamite at the Triple-A level over the past three seasons, however, and Atlanta will hope that success translates this time. He'll operate out of middle relief.
