Nearly two months after watching the Braves play from beyond the outfield seats at Truist Park, Shane Greene returned to his perch within Atlanta’s bullpen. Greene’s much-anticipated return was realized when the Braves recalled him from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers. The 32-year-old reliever remained a free agent until Atlanta signed him to a one-year, $1.5 million contract on May 9. He’ll receive the prorated portion of this salary, meaning his cost will be closer to $1 million. “The offseason was longer than ever, and I’m as ready as I can ever be,” Greene said. Continue...

With Austin Riley on second in the bottom of the sixth after an RBI double, Swanson stepped into the box looking to capitalize with another runner in scoring position. Swanson responded with a 440-foot home run over the left-field wall to push the Braves’ lead to four. This gave Swanson 10 homers on the year and was his 500th career hit. The monstrous jack also...
