ATLANTA -- The Braves have designated left-handed reliever Donnie Veal for assignment and recalled right-hander Brandon Cunniff from Triple-A Gwinnett.
The move leaves Luis Avilan as the only left-hander in Atlanta's bullpen.
Veal gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings in Monday night's 5-2 loss to the Phillies. He allowed four runs in 3 1/3 innings for a 10.80 ERA this season.
Cunniff opened the season with Atlanta, appearing in 10 games, and was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on April 21. He allowed two runs, one hit and six walks in nine innings.
