The Braves selected O'Flaherty's contract from the minors Sunday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was revealed less than a week earlier that O'Flaherty claimed an Opening Day bullpen spot, so his addition to the 40-man was merely a formality. The 32-year-old left-hander has been lit up over his 70 appearances in the big leagues with three different teams in the last two years, but he's optimistic that offseason surgery to address elbow tension will allow him to rediscover the strong form he showed a few years earlier during his first stint with the Braves.
