Atlanta Braves Announce Promotion of 30-Home Run Slugger During Nationals Series

In a minor roster shuffle on September 1, the Atlanta Braves promoted 30-home run hitter Jordan Groshans from Double-A Columbus to their AAA Gwinnett Stripers. Groshans, 26, was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018 and has played for the Blue Jays, Yankees, Miami Marlins, Athletics, and Kansas City Royals organizations across 646 minor league games.

This season, Groshans has smashed 30 home runs, 18 doubles, and six triples in 103 games with Gwinnett, solidifying his status as a strong hitter. Groshans briefly made his MLB debut with the Marlins in 2022, batting .262 in 61 at-bats. With his impressive performance so far, it is likely that Groshans' opportunity to reach the Major Leagues will come next season.
