"Suarez had pitched in six games with the Braves, making one start and collecting one three-inning save. He struck out 21 but walked 12 in 16.1 innings, allowing 12 earned runs."
"Payamps, who was a late-in-the-season pickup last year by Atlanta, was retained on a $2.5M contract by Atlanta making him less likely to be claimed by an opposing team."
"Assuming Payamps accepts his assignment to the Stripers, he's likely to re-surface in Atlanta. He had been an average to above average reliever until struggling with the Milwaukee Brewers last year."
