Atlanta optioned Contreras to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Contreras was up with the big club for three days after Travis d'Arnaud left the team to observe the birth of his child. With d'Arnaud returning from the paternity list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Atlanta didn't have a spot for Contreras as a third catcher. He could rejoin the big club after Sept. 1, when active rosters expand from 26 to 28 men.
