  Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves recalled pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes from Triple-A Richmond on Tuesday and he will be on the mound as the team is set to open a three-game set against the New York Mets.

  The team optioned Reyes to the minors on July 28 after he had dropped his past five decisions over six starts with an 8.74 earned-run average.

  The rookie righty started three games with Richmond and posted a 3.94 ERA over 16 innings.

  On the season, the 23-year-old is 3-9 with a 5.33 season ERA in 16 games (15 starts).

  To make room on the roster, the team placed infielder Ruben Gotay on the 15- day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

  In 73 games this season, he is batting .225 with two home runs and six RBI.
