The Atlanta Braves continue to shuffle their bullpen and will reportedly call up right hander Wes Parsons from Triple-A prior to Wednesday’s series finale against the Cincinnati Reds.
The Braves have promoted RH reliever Wes Parsons from Gwinnett. They haven't announced their corresponding move.

Snit initially said he didn't think they needed help today. But it appears they decided to create bullpen depth by bringing up Parsons for at least one day
The Braves have yet to announce the move but it appears that Matt Wisler is being sent down. However, the Braves currently have a full 40-man roster so an additional move will be required.
Not announced yet, but Matt Wisler will be corresponding move for Parsons arrival.

Parsons has battled injury throughout his career but has pitched well this season. He began 2018 at Double-A Mississippi where he allowed four runs in 29 1/3 innings. He has made six starts for Gwinnett and has a 2.83 ERA in 35 innings.
UPDATE - The Braves have officially announced the roster moves and have transferred RHP Mike Soroka to the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man roster spot.
The #Braves today selected the contract of RHP Wes Parsons from Triple-A Gwinnett and optioned RHP Matt Wisler to the Stripers. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the club transferred RHP Mike Soroka to the 60-day disabled list. Parsons will wear No. 67.
