ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have optioned rookie shortstop Tyler Pastornicky to Triple-A Gwinnett, announcing the move following Wednesday night's 10-7 win over St. Louis. Andrelton Simmons, who is hitting .292 at Double-A Mississippi, was called up and is expected to take over the starting job. General manager Frank Wren said Simmons has "special talents" at shortstop.
