Braves placed RHP Anthony Varvaro on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with a right pectoral strain. |
Varvaro had an ugly 9.45 ERA and 6/4 K/BB ratio over 6 2/3 innings this spring prior to the injury. He'll begin the season with Triple-A Gwinnett once he's back to full health. |

Fri Mar 23 2012 | 16:33 | Varvaro exits with pectoral strain |
Anthony Varvaro left Friday's game against the Mets with a right pectoral strain. |
Varvaro failed to retire a batter Friday, allowing three consecutive singles and a walk before leaving the game. No word yet on the severity, but between the injury and his ugly 9.45 ERA this spring, he's unlikely to make Atlanta's bullpen. |

Fri Mar 23 2012 | 16:20 | Anthony Varvaro can't get an out for Braves |
Anthony Varvaro failed to retire any of the four Mets he faced before coming out of Friday's game. |
Especially with Arodys Vizcaino out, Varvaro was in great position to claim an opening in the Atlanta pen, but he's thrown it away with a 9.45 ERA this spring. Jairo Asencio and Gory Gearrin look like the favorites to occupy the two vacancies now. |

Thu Jan 13 2011 | 19:13 | Braves claim righty Varvaro off waivers |
Braves claimed RHP Anthony Varvaro off waivers from the Mariners. |
Varvaro was designated for assignment by the Mariners earlier this month in order to clear a 40-man roster spot for catcher Miguel Olivo. The 26-year-old righty had a 4.02 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 65 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season and could see some big league action in Atlanta this year. He has averaged a 9.5 K/9 over five minor league seasons. |

Mariners designated RHP Anthony Varvaro for assignment. |
Varvaro was cleared to make room for the newly-signed Miguel Olivo on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old right-hander posted a 4.02 ERA and 72/35 K/BB ratio over 65 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season and even had a brief cup of coffee with the big club in September. Varvaro still needs to improve his command, but has averaged 9.5 K/9 over five seasons in the minors. He could draw some interest. |

Mariners recalled RHP Anthony Varvaro from Triple-A Tacoma. |
Varvaro, 25, posted a 4.02 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 50 appearances between Double-A West Tennessee and Triple-A Tacoma this season. Though 4.8 BB/9 is still far too many, it's actually an improvement from his walk rate of 7.3 BB/9 from last season. This is just a cup of coffee for now, but he's making decent progress. |
