Braves Call Up No. 1 Prospect Vaughn Grissom, Will Play Vs. Red Sox

After losing second baseman Orlando Arcia to the injured list, the Braves will look to their farm system against the Red Sox.

Arcia suffered a left hamstring injury while running the bases during the top of the 10th inning in Atlanta’s 9-7 win over Boston on Tuesday. The Braves placed the second baseman on the IL and in his place have called up their No. 1 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline (No. 98 overall), Vaughn Grissom. The 21-year-old will bat ninth in the order in Wednesday’s game.

Grissom will certainly get a memorable Major League debut, with it being at Fenway Park.
