Braves designate Ogando for assignment

The Atlanta Braves have designated right-hander Alexi Ogando for assignment and recalled Mauricio Cabrera.

This season, Ogando owned a 3.94 ERA in 32 innings, notching 29 strikeouts while walking 23.

Back in 2011 when he was a starter for the Texas Rangers, Ogando was named an All-Star and finished the season 13-8 with a 3.51 ERA and 126 strikeouts.

Whenever Cabrera makes his first appearance, it will be his major league debut. At Double-A Mississippi, he had a 3.21 ERA in 33 2/3 innings pitched.
