Atlanta Braves promote minor league slugger Jordan Groshans to Gwinnett

The Atlanta Braves promoted Jordan Groshans to the Gwinnett Stripers on September 1 following a 30-home run campaign at the AA Columbus level. The 26-year-old infielder recorded 81 RBI and a.932 OPS throughout the 2026 season. After stints with five different organizations during his eight-year professional career, this performance marks his most productive power-hitting season to date. The promotion aligns with the September 1 roster expansion as the team prepares for a weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies. While the Braves currently navigate a two-game set against the Washington Nationals, the addition of Groshans provides depth as the organization evaluates its roster for the remainder of the year and future seasons. Washington debuted Yohandy Morales on September 1, while Atlanta continues to monitor the return of pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver from injury.
