MLB in brief: Braves expected to call Blue Jays | Russell Martin to Édouard Julien

The Braves should call the Blue Jays

The Canadian club has a surplus of outfielders. Jurickson Profar's suspension (doping) changes the situation in Atlanta.

Sooooooo, @Braves. You guys need an outfielder? I can think of someone (Nathan Lukes) that you can comfortably plug in to a corner against RHP.

Hit up Ross the Boss.
