Braves option Mike Foltynewicz, call up Daniel Castro, per report

With Andrelton Simmons still feeling the effects of getting hit by a pitch in the hand and Foltynewicz struggling in June, the Braves send Folty down and bring Daniel Castro up from Gwinnett

Andrelton Simmons is going to miss his second game in a row after being hit the hand by a pitch. With that, the shortstop position is very thin for the Braves with Pedro Ciriaco manning the position in his absence.

On top of that , Mike Foltynewicz has really struggled in June, giving up 14 earned runs in around 15 innings of work.
