Despite an ugly 9-4 loss on Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta Braves still took two of three from the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend in a series between two NL heavyweights this season.

After the Brewers series, it appears that the Braves have made a roster decision with 14-year MLB player Sandy Leon. Atlanta recently acquired catcher Joey Bart in a trade earlier this week, which led to Sandy Leon’s designation for assignment.

Per the Atlanta Braves’ official transactions page, Sandy Leon has been sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett in a roster move following the Brewers series.

Sandy Leon has played in parts of the last two seasons with the Braves, but he was recalled this year after Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy were both sidelined with injury.

@CrosbyBaseball wrote (on 6/21):

“#Braves catcher Sandy León has cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.”

This season with the Braves, over 44 at-bats, Sandy Leon recorded just 4 hits (O XBH, .091 average), 18 strikeouts, and zero walks, so he was pretty much a non-factor at the plate.
