Braves reinstate John Gant from the DL, replaces Jenkins on roster

John Gant is back off the DL and will occupy the roster spot previously held by Tyrell Jenkins

After his recent struggles, Tyrell Jenkins was sent down to Gwinnett last night to work through his issues. However, given the difficulty the Braves have had keeping starting pitchers healthy and/or in the rotation, this left a difficult void to fill this late in the season when the team is trying to not be completely embarassing.

Well, as it turns out, one of those aforementioned injured pitchers is going to be back in Atlanta to help out.

Gant has been out since the end of June with an oblique injury, which unfortunately are a bit notorious for being hard to rehab and difficult to predict.
