Atlanta Braves Morning Chop: all signs pointing to Sean Newcomb callup

The Atlanta Braves and Gwinnett Braves have set into motion a sequence of events that look likely to bring left-hander Sean Newcomb to the majors for the first time.

This information was confirmed by a tweet from the official Gwinnett Braves account as well.

According to Justin Felder of FOX5 news, Newcomb had been made aware of the possibility of a call-up this week and was getting himself ready for the opportunity.

Meanwhile, while we reported that Kris Medlen could be called upon for the open slot, that topic was addressed in comments made by Brian Snitker to the CBS Affiliate in Atlanta (h/t to Grant McAuley):

“I think Med would’ve been a good option, but he’s not there yet,” said Snitker.
