Braves' Brandon Snyder: Recalled to majors

Snyder was called up by the Braves on Thursday.

Analysis:

Following the departure of Jeff Francoeur in Wednesday's trade, Snyder will take the vacant spot on the major league roster. He's struggled in limited action in the big leagues this year, but the 28-year-old has excelled with Triple-A Gwinnett, posting a .327/.358/.442 slash line in 43 games.
