The Atlanta Braves could have an internal option to add more depth at first base.

The Braves could call him soon to MLB. He currently has a 12-game on-base streak and is batting .397 AVG, 4 HR, 10 RBI in the month of July at Gwinnett, Triple-A.
That’s something the Braves need in their lineup. He obviously wouldn’t come and bat .400 at the MLB level, but it’s a sign he’s seeing the ball extremely well - something most of the lineup isn’t doing. It could also prove as insurance against Matt Olson's struggles, though he's shown Let’s not forget he brings plenty of postseason experience with him - trash can jokes aside given he played for the Houston Astros. Gurriel is still a two-time World Series champion and has played in the World Series four times - including the loss against the Braves in 2021.
There is no indication of when this could happen. The Braves could still make another move ahead of the deadline, so they’ll likely wait after 6 p.m. Tuesday to make their decision.
