Veal was released by the Braves on Monday after being designated for assignment last week, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. Veal struggled mightily in five appearances with the Braves this season, giving up seven earned runs in 4.1 innings (14.54 ERA) and posting a 2.31 WHIP. He appeared in 74 big league games between 2012 and 2013, but he has struggled to find much success since. He did pitch well in the minors this season (16 scoreless innings), so he figures to get a look elsewhere.
