Fans of the Atlanta Braves have been wondering since Spring Training when they would see the top prospect in the organization, Christian Pache, with the major league club.
After not being included in the opening day roster, there was some discussion if his debut would happen this season at all.
On Tuesday afternoon the Braves placed Nick Markakis on the IL due to a possible exposure to COVID-19 and the corresponding move was to call up Pache.
While he was on the active roster in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Nationals, he did not make his first appearance for the team.
92.9 The Game Braves Insider Joe Patrick joined John and Hugh on Wednesday morning and discussed how Pache could be used by the Braves.
“He’s expected to play tonight, and when you call up a prospect like Pache you want to get him in the lineup and get him as many at-bats and regular time as you can," says Patrick. "I think we’re likely to see him be a pretty regular fixture in the lineup, think you’ll see a lot of Pache in the short-term here.”
