On Thursday it was revealed that Braves Shortstop Orlando Arcia would head to the IL after a microfracture was discovered in his left wrist. The injury was sustained when he was struck by a pitch during Wednesday’s contest vs the Cincinnati Reds. The injury also opens the way for Vaughn Grissom to return to the Major League club after starting the season in Gwinnett.
Grissom was not in the lineup for the Gwinnett Stripers Thursday and is expected to join the Braves on Friday in Kansas City.
