Braves demote Stephens, Fried praises prospects, Pipeline ranks fastball.
The Atlanta Braves have outrighted right-hander Jackson Stephens to Triple-A, removing him from the 40-man roster. Stephens had a respectable showing in his first MLB action since 2018, but struggled in Spring Training this year. The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for the Braves to consider other moves, including potentially adding a fifth starter.
