His scoreless-inning streak has reached seven dating to Sept. 24. Moylan was a late addition to spring training, signed to a minor league contract, but he earned the final bullpen spot. His performances early in the season will merit him being used more in late innings during close games.

Moylan (elbow) has been promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

There was talk of Moylan, who is recovering from his second Tommy John surgery, remaining at short-season Danville as a player-coach. However, the organization feels Moylan is throwing the ball too well for that, so he will move up to Gwinnett and look to earn another promotion to the major league club later this season. The 36-year-old has posted a 2.80 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 309 career appearances in the majors, but he hasn't made more than 14 appearances in the bigs since 2010.

Moylan (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Braves on Friday, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.

Moylan is about 11 months removed from Tommy John surgery, the second such operation during his career. The right-hander is angling for a return by midseason, but he'll likely have to first demonstrate that he's healthy in the minors before getting an opportunity to join the Braves, where he began his MLB career. Moylan, 36, posted an impressive 2.44 ERA over 232.1 innings during his prime years with the Braves from 2007 through 2010, but the odds seem to be stacked against him reemerging as anything more than a replacement-level arm in middle relief.

After receiving his MRI results back on Friday, it appears that Peter Moylan (elbow) is likely to require a second Tommy John surgery.
