Braves Reinstate Key Reliever From Injured List

The Atlanta Braves have activated curveballer Pierce Johnson from the injured list, choosing to outright Jackson Stephens to AAA Gwinnett in a corresponding move

Which is good, because they used a lot of relievers last night.that they have reinstated reliever Pierce Johnson from the 15-day injured list, as expected. First eligible to return on Friday, Manager Brian Snitker indicated prior to Friday’s game that the team wanted to wait one more day before reinstating him as he threw live batting practice on Wednesday and wouldn’t have been available to pitch on Friday night.

Waiting one more day to activate Johnson worked out; the Braves bullpen needed to cover 4.2 innings against San Diego after starter Max Fried made it only one out into the fifth inning before needing to be removed. The game being close meant that the team couldn’t put some bulk innings on the corresponding move for Johnson’s activation - long man Jackson Stephens, who was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.
