Braves' Jesus Cruz: Exits big-league bullpen
Atlanta optioned Cruz to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
With MLB limiting teams to carrying 13 pitchers on active rosters beginning Monday, Cruz found himself as the odd man out for Atlanta.

Cruz was effective during his three-week stint with the big club, covering six innings in relief while giving up one run on four hits and two walks.

Braves' Jesus Cruz: Gets call-up to Atlanta
Atlanta selected Cruz's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
After getting released by the Cardinals late in spring training, Cruz landed a minor-league deal with Atlanta on April 6 and was assigned to Gwinnett later that month. The 27-year-old right-hander emerged as one of the top arms out of the Gwinnett bullpen, accruing a 2.84 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 20:1 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Atlanta will add him to the 26-man active roster as a replacement for lefty Tucker Davidson, who was optioned to Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Jesus Cruz: Released by Cardinals
Cruz was released by the Cardinals on Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Cruz made a relief appearance for the Cardinals in 2020 but spent the entire 2021 campaign at Triple-A Memphis. The right-hander gave up five runs in 2.2 innings across two relief appearances this spring, and he'll now part ways with the club. If he finds a new landing spot, he'll presumably serve as organizational depth.
