Best news of the day? Atlanta Braves call up right-handed relief pitcher Akeel Morris! I’m extremely excited about this move and I’ll tell you why below. The corresponding move is Matt Wisler was sent back down to Triple-A Gwinnett.
This will not be the 24-year-olds major league debut, but it will be his first appearance with the Atlanta Braves — the New York Mets called him up in 2015 and he pitched in one game, giving up three hits, three walks, and five runs in 2/3 innings. Ouch, but he was still young then…he’s ready now and we should be ready for him too!
