Braves' Dereck Rodriguez: Sent down Monday

Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Rodriguez will head back to Triple-A after being called up Saturday, pitching two scoreless innings while allowing one hit and walk with a strikeout in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Phillies. His return to Gwinnett opens a roster spot for Michael Soroka, who is set to make his season debut with Atlanta on Monday.
