The Atlanta Braves optioned left-hander Dylan Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett and recalled right-hander Rolddy Munoz on Monday in advance of a three-game home series against the Miami Marlins.

Dodd, 27, made his lone appearance of the season on Sunday and pitched three scoreless innings against the Cleveland Guardians to earn his first career save by closing out a 13-1 victory. Dodd is 3-2 with a 5.45 ERA in 37 appearances (seven starts) with the Braves since 2023.

Munoz, who turns 26 on Tuesday, is set to make his first major league appearance of the season. He made the first three appearances of his big league career last season and had a 12.27 ERA over 3 2/3 innings.
