The Braves have called up top prospect Michael Harris II from Double-A, optioning Travis Demeritte to Triple-A. (Atlanta Braves on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
This move is highly unexpected, as Harris is just 21 years old, played in High-A last year, and has just 43 games in Double-A. Atlanta has struggled mightily in its outfield due to injury or ineffectiveness, and Harris has been a force in Double-A this year with five home runs and 11 steals already. But it seems like a stretch to believe that he'll be able to have immediate success against MLB pitching upon his promotion. Still, he should be added in all formats just in case he's that rare breed that hits the ground running, in light of his potential upside.
