Atlanta designated Dunshee for assignment Wednesday. The club needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster for the return of Michael Harris (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list, and Dunshee ended up being the casualty. Dunshee made his major-league debut last week, allowing five runs in a 2.1-inning relief appearance against the Brewers.

Atlanta optioned Dunshee to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. Dunshee's contract was selected Thursday, and he threw 2.1 innings in Thursday's 16-7 loss to Milwaukee, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks. The outing marked the 29-year-old's MLB debut. Zach Logue was recalled from Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Atlanta selected Dunshee's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. Dunshee, 29, has split this season between Double-A Mississippi and Gwinnett, collecting an impressive 2.30 ERA and 66:18 K:BB over 47 innings. He will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Dunshee is part of the 60-man player pool that will report to the Athletics' summer camp, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Dunshee mostly cruised through his first two-plus seasons in the minors before hitting Triple-A Las Vegas in the latter portion of 2019, a stint in which he scuffled to a 5.38 ERA across 20 appearances (19 starts). While the league's hitter-friendly conditions undoubtedly played a part in his struggles, Dunshee also took his lumps across three Cactus League appearances (12.27 ERA) before spring training was suspended. The right-hander seems much more likely to be part of a pool of up to 30 players that will train at an alternate location once the regular season begins than to make the Opening Day roster.
