The Braves have recalled infielder Johan Camargo and placed Ehire Adrianza on the injured list, per the team.
Adrianza isn’t hurt, but he was away from the team for personal reasons, per David O’Brien of the Athletic (via Twitter). He now must go through COVID-19 protocols before returning to the team. The 31-year-old infielder is in his first season with the Braves after spending the past four in Minnesota.
While he’s away, Camargo will step into a familiar role as a utility player off the bench. Camargo, 27, has appeared in 349 games with the Braves over the past four seasons. He owns a career triple slash of .261/.319/.430, though he has struggled at the plate the past two seasons.
Let’s go Camargo!!!!
I hope it isn’t anything serious for Adrianza but this couldn’t come at a worst time. He had a great spring and was having strong AB’s. Hope it doesn’t stall his progress when he returns. On the flip side, this could be an opportunity for Camargo to come in and take a spot on the roster. Either way, one of them needs to play strong for us bc we obviously don’t that strong of a bench.
It’s not serious-it’s CoVid protocol. It’s pretty high up in the piece.
He’s out for personal reasons, so it could be serious.
The article says he has to go through COVID protocols when he returns.
Unrelated but I love that Pablo homered in his first AB after people flamed the Braves for picking him on their roster
Not unrelated, they’re two of my favorite ex-Giants.
Agreed, wish we saw more of Adrianza in San Francisco. His homer off of Kershaw was probably his peak moment there.
Camargo shouldn’t be on any teams roster especially one with playoff hopes, he is the laziest most indifferent player I have ever seen.
I would rather see almost 37 year old Sean Kazmar Jr get a call up then Camargo. At least Kazmar had a productive spring with the bat.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed Camargo. I’d love to see the perennial Gwinnett Striper Kazmar get a shot too!
All of y’all stupid people don’t remember that just a few years ago when Camargo was playing everyday before they signed Donaldson that he tore it up after coming back from injury after the all star break and actually led the Braves in hitting for the season with runners in scoring position. I’ll guarantee you that if he was given the opportunity to play everyday he would out hit Riley in every category including homers and is a much better fielder than Riley. If Camargo had been playing 3b Thursday that game winning rbi to Riley’s right would have been an out. You can bet everything you own that Camargo would have fielded that ball and thrown the runner out by 3 steps.
fab,
“All of y’all” is Shakespearean in it’s redneckiness. Keep it coming, Bubba!
