The right-hander posted a 1-2 record with an 8.10 ERA in four starts and one relief outing for the Braves, which pushed his totals to a 4-12 record with a 5.76 ERA in 25 games this season.

Suero, 33, has pitched three relief outings for the Braves this year and allowed six runs in five innings. In 42 games for Triple-A Gwinnett, he has delivered a 1.39 ERA with 58 strikeouts and 13 walks over 45 1/3 innings.
