RHP Dan Burawa was outrighted to Double-A Mississippi on Tuesday as the Braves took him off the 40-man roster. Burawa, 27, was 1-0 with one save and a 5.14 ERA in seven relief appearances for Triple-A Gwinnett this season.

Burawa (0-0) endured a difficult outing Tuesday, giving up a three-run homer in Atlanta's 5-0 loss to the Phillies.

Claimed off waivers from the Yankees in August, Burawa's had an unimpressive start to his Braves career. After pitching effectively at the Triple-A level, Burawa has suffered multi-run outings in three of his five big league appearances. It's likely that the Braves will avoid using Burawa in high leverage situations going forward.

Burawa was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Atlanta claimed Burawa off waivers in mid-August, and he's spent the past couple of weeks at Triple-A, where he's allowed one earned run over 4.1 innings. Burawa pitched well as a member of the Yankees' organization - 2.55 ERA over 49.1 innings at Triple-A - but he appeared in only one major league contest. Burawa will provide bullpen depth down the stretch for Atlanta, and at this point it's unclear whether he'll fall into a defined role.

Burawa was claimed off waivers by the Braves on Friday.

He will report to Triple-A Gwinnett and offer organizational bullpen depth for Atlanta. He was designated for assignment by the Yankees earlier this month despite posting a 2.55 ERA in 49.1 innings at Triple-A.

Burawa was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Wednesday.

Burawa was optioned by the Yankees following a 0.2 inning out in which he allowed four runs on three hits and a walk. Despite a relatively solid overall performance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the 26-year-old has now been removed from the 40-man roster, likely pushing him further away from a return to the majors.

Burawa will be optioned down to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Burawa had a terrible outing Sunday against the Tigers as he gave up three hits, four earned runs, and a home run during a one-out relief appearance for Masahiro Tanaka. His poor performance resulted in promptly getting demoted to the minors where he'll likely stay for the immediate future while hoping the Yankees give him a second chance to prove his worth at a later date in the season.

Burawa has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre.

Burawa has been serviceable at Triple-A in 2015, throwing a 1.75 ERA and 7.50 K/9 in 36.0 innings. He's being brought in to provide a fresh arm after Bryan Mitchell tossed three innings in Saturday's blowout win, so don't expect too high of an impact.

Burawa will start the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

Burawa had a solid spring, posting a 2.70 ERA with eight strike outs in 6.2 innings of work but was always considered a long shot to make the big league roster out of camp. The 26-year-old struggled at the Triple-A level last season, putting up a 5.95 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 31 appearances, so he'll likely have to perform consistently there before being considered for a promotion.
