Braves Calling Up Vaughn Grissom
2 years agoThe Atlanta Braves are calling up top prospect Vaughn Grissom from Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday. The 21-year-old shortstop has hit a combined .324/.405/.494 with an .899 OPS, 14 home runs, 67 RBI, 72 runs scored and 27 stolen bases in 442 plate appearances over 96 games with High-A Rome and Mississippi this year in the minors. In 22 games at Double-A, he slashed .363/.408/.517 with a .925 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and seven steals. Shortstop is blocked by Dansby Swanson, but with both Ozzie Albies and Orlando Arcia on the injured list, Grissom could play regularly at second base for the Braves in the immediate future. Grissom's power/speed combination warrants a look in most fantasy formats.
