The Atlanta Braves' pitching depth took a slight hit on Wednesday, though it's unlikely to impact them beyond the regular season.

Atlanta has been desperate for arms all season, which led the club to sign right-handed pitcher John Brebbia to a minor-league deal in late June after he was released by the Detroit Tigers.

Brebbia spent more than two months in Triple-A with the Gwinnett Stripers, but the Braves finally recalled him on Aug. 29 as part of a bullpen reset to get fresh arms in the mix.

However, after only three outings in his new uniform, Brebbia was designated for assignment on Monday, on a day where the Braves made nine roster moves, a staggering overhaul even for a non-contender in early September.
