The surprising promotion (for some of us)…

This afternoon, Atlanta designated reliever Tyler Thornburg for assignment and recalled lefty Dylan Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Due to the shortened spring camp this year, MLB rosters were allowed to expand to 28 players during the month of April.

Alex Dickerson clears waivers; heads to Triple-A Gwinnett
Despite seeming like quite the savvy pick-up this past offseason by Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos, outfielder Alex Dickerson just didn’t produce as expected in Atlanta.

Ronald Acuña Jr. wraps up an impressive rehab stint with Gwinnett – returns to Braves
For those us who obsessively follow the Braves farm system (like me), getting the opportunity to watch Ronald Acuña Jr.’s first ABs this season was awesome. And it’s not as if he was simply going up there to get his timing right. No, Acuña was out there performing his best, and as a result, he…
