The Braves recently released from his minor league contract (h/t to ). The veteran lefty is again a free agent. Shreve signed a non-roster deal with Atlanta in January. It was a return to the organization that drafted him in 2010 and with which he made his big league debut more than a decade ago. He received an invite to major league Spring Training but was rea signed to the minors after three appearances. Shreve has worked exclusively in relief as a big leaguer, but he pitched out of the rotation at Triple-A Gwinnett. The 34-year-old started four of five outings with the Stripers, working four frames in each start. The Bob Dandridge Jersey results werent good, as he allowed 15 runs (11 earned) over 17 1/3 innings. He struck out 12 against five walks while allowing 21 hits, three of which left the yard. His fastball averaged what would be a career-low 88.8 MPH, though thats not all that surprising with the rotation move. His fastball sat around 90 MPH during his relief work last season. Shreve made one MLB appearance as a member of the Rockies last year. He to sed a scorele s inning. That extended his streak to 11 consecutive years logging some major league action. Shreve spent most of the 23 season in the big leagues. He combined for 50 appearances between the Tigers and Reds, working to a 4.63 ERA acro s 44 2/3 frames. While his big league appearance came with Colorado, Shreve played for a trio of Triple-A affiliates last year. He spent time in the Rangers, Yankees and Rox systems. Shreve turned in a cumulative 2.62 earned run average acro s 34 1/3 innings. He fanned a strong 26.7% of opponents against a slightly higher than average 9.2% walk percentage. He got swinging strikes at a near-14% clip. That could get him attention on another minor league deal from teams seeking lefty relief depth. Cameron Reynolds Jersey
