The Atlanta Braves announced on Tuesday that they are promoting right-handed pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver to the big league club. The 20-year-old has most recently been with the Mississippi Braves but hopefully can breathe some fresh life into a bullpen that has been getting knocked around recently. In a corresponding move, the lefty Lucas Luetge was designated for assignment.
The #Braves today selected the contract of RHP AJ Smith-Shawver to Atlanta and designated LHP Lucas Luetge for assignment.
