Braves Promote Davitt Amidst Phillies Series
8 Sep
Summary
- RHP Duncan Davitt promoted to AAA Gwinnett by the Braves.
- Davitt's move is a corresponding transaction to Ian Hamilton's inactive status.
- Davitt was acquired by the Braves in a trade for catcher Joey Bart.
The Atlanta Braves made a roster move during their recent series against the Philadelphia Phillies, promoting right-handed pitcher Duncan Davitt to their AAA affiliate, the Gwinnett Stripers. This move directly corresponds with pitcher Ian Hamilton being placed on the temporary inactive list.
Davitt, 26, was acquired by the Braves organization in a trade for catcher Joey Bart. While his statistics in AAA this season with both Gwinnett and his former team, the Chicago White Sox's affiliate, have been mixed, this promotion offers him a crucial opportunity. He will aim to demonstrate his value to the Braves as the minor league season approaches its conclusion.
Meanwhile, the Braves themselves split their four-game series with the Phillies and continue to lead the NL East by four games. They are actively competing with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the No. 2 seed in the National League. The team is scheduled to begin a series against the Tampa Bay Rays at home on Tuesday.
