Atlanta Braves Call Up John Gant and Send Tyrell Jenkins To Gwinnett

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: The Atlanta Braves were one of the hottest teams in the NL a few weeks ago, but have now lost seven in a row and 11 of their 18 games in August. Tyrell Jenkins has had back-to-back rough outings against the Washington Nationals and is now being sent down to Gwinnett. This move could be good for Jenkins. The Braves have been changing their minds about what Jenkins will be — either a starting pitcher or a relief pitcher. If they send him down to Gwinnett to work on being a starting pitcher, it’s a great move.
