Hursh recalled from Double-A after Colon goes on DL

An early-season demotion from Triple-A to Double-A appears to have done wonders for reliever Jason Hursh, who’s getting another shot at the major leagues.

The right-hander was recalled from Double-A Mississippi on Tuesday after the Braves put veteran starter Bartolo Colon on the 10-day disabled list.

Hursh, 25, had a 1.23 ERA in 10 appearances at Mississippi after posting a 4.67 ERA in 10 appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett through May 9. He allowed 10 hits and no home runs in 14 2/3 innings at Mississippi after giving up 26 hits and two homers in 17 1/3 innings at Gwinnett.
