Braves Put Suarez on IL, Promote Waldrep to Bolster Bullpen

TL;DR Summary
The Atlanta Braves placed setup man Robert Suarez on the 15-day injured list with forearm tightness, retroactive to June 23, and recalled Hurston Waldrep from Triple-A Gwinnett to bolster the bullpen. Carlos Carrasco cleared waivers and elected free agency. Suarez is expected to miss the All-Star Break but should return in the second half, and Waldrep is likely to debut as a multi-inning reliever as he builds back up after elbow surgery.
