Before the season started, the Atlanta Braves rotation penciled in the depth chart looked nothing like the current one.  On Tuesday, Atlanta recalled Jo-Jo Reyes to make his 16th start on Tuesday when the Braves face the Mets.  The 23-year-old Reyes made his first start in May after injuries elevated him to the rotation for his first stint of 2008.  Infielder Ruben Gotay was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a strained left hamstring to make room for the return of Reyes.

The injury ravaged rotation of the Braves saw Reyes make 15 starts this season but he was sent to Triple-A Richmond after dropping five decisions in six starts.  During that stretch, Reyes’ ERA was 8.74.  On the season, Reyes is 3-9 with a 5.33 ERA.

Gotay has primarily been used as a pinch hitter this year for the Braves and is 13-for-52 (.250) with one home run and three RBI in the role.  In 73 games with the Braves, Gotay is hitting .225 with two homers and six RBI.

In Richmond, Reyes pitched 16 innings in three starts with a 3.94 ERA.  He also pitched for Richmond in April and is 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA in eight Minor League starts.
