As of yesterday, AJ Smith-Shawver was scheduled to pitch in his second rehab assignment start for the Gwinnett Stripers. However, that plan has now changed. He’s on his way to Arizona and will be added to the Braves active roster. The Braves are indeed bringing up AJ Smith-Shawver, source confirms. He'll meet the team in
The MLB trade deadline is fast approaching, and conversations will really begin to heat up following next week’s All-Star break. For the Braves, they have a multitude of areas they can stand to upgrade, mostly offensively, but pitching is always a need. Expecting a blockbuster trade this year in the middle of the season with
