Braves Option Vaughn Grissom, Activate Orlando Arcia
12 months agoThe Atlanta Braves sent down shortstop Vaughn Grissom to Triple-A prior to Sunday's walk-off triumph over the Orioles. It was a corresponding move as the team activated fellow infielder Orlando Arcia (wrist) from the injured list before the game. The 28-year-old hit eighth in the contest, going 1-for-4 in his return, taking Grissom's roster spot in the process. Arcia is now slashing .327/.389/.510 this season following Sunday's effort, while Grissom wasn't giving the Braves any outstanding stuff with his bat or his glove in Arcia's stead. Grissom possesses significant hitting potential, as evidenced by his .291/.353/.400 triple-slash line from 2022. The 22-year-old's lack of defensive acumen will continue to cost him opportunity at the major-league level, however, until he demonstrates some growth in that facet of his game.
