The Atlanta Braves have sent undefeated rookie Tommy Hanson to Class-A Myrtle Beach and called up right-hander Luis Valdez from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The move is only temporary, it allows the Braves to add Valdez to the Braves bullpen for the remainder of the series with the Colorado Rockies. Hansen is expected to be recalled in time for his next scheduled start.
