Bluff City native Hunter Stratton may not get the chance to play in his home state this weekend. The Atlanta Braves have optioned Stratton back to Triple A. The move is to make way for Erick Fedde, who the Braves acquired in a trade from St. Louis. Fedde will start on Tuesday against Kansas City.
Stratton made two appearances in his short stint with the big club. He pitched three innings, giving up two hits and two walks, picking up two strikeouts and giving up no earned runs.
