The 23-year-old Cuevas spent the 2007 season at Myrtle Beach (A), making 25 starts and compiling a 6-12 record with a 3.55 ERA in 132.0 innings pitched. He was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent in March 2003.

In six games with the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League, he had a 4-1 record with a 2.57 ERA in six games that includes five games started. Morton was the Braves’ third-round selection in the 2002 June free agent draft.
Schreiber, 25, split the 2007 season between Mississippi and Richmond (AAA). In 34 games with Mississippi, he went 3-5 with five saves and a 2.22 ERA. At Richmond he was 1-1 with one save and a 2.43 ERA in 24 games. Atlanta selected Schreiber in the 16th round of the 2004 June free agent draft out of Duke University.
