Brigham was charged for eight runs on nine hits and four walks over just 1.2 innings in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Yankees.
It's far from an encouraging performance for the 27-year-old who had just returned to the Braves on Saturday after receiving the promotion from Triple-A Gwinnett.

A corresponding roster move was not immediately announced.
