The Atlanta Braves just swept the Philadelphia Phillies on the road for the first time in a while. It was an impressive series for Atlanta, as the team continues to show that last season was a fluke for a variety of reasons. Over the weekend, third baseman Austin Riley made it clear that everyone is contributing, including a pitching staff that has been dominant.

“We're playing complete baseball. It's a different guy every night coming up in big situations... And our pitching staff has been unbelievable,” Riley said.

An exciting arm performing well in the minor leagues is prospect Didier Fuentes, who could be called up at any moment.

“The performance from Didier Fuentes on Wednesday night left the proper impression on the Atlanta Braves. The big question has been when he will be ready to return to the majors. The answer is sooner rather than later. The current expectation is that once the 15-day minimum in the minor leagues after being optioned has passed, Fuentes will be recalled, per a source,” SI’s Harrison Smajovitts wrote.

Fuentes did not make his scheduled appearance on Sunday for the Gwinnett Stripers, which suggests his call-up could be right around the corner.

“Didier Fuentes was a healthy scratch for Triple-A Gwinnett today. By not starting him today, the Braves give themselves some flexibility as they go through this stretch of 10 straight games. Dodd isn’t eligible to return until April 28. Need optionable pieces available during this stretch. Plus, it wouldn’t hurt if Fuentes doesn’t start for Gwinnett until Friday. Extra rest this time of year means could prove beneficial in September and October,”
