Braves reportedly call up nine-year veteran fan favorite who made Atlanta debut in July

The Atlanta Braves have called up Brewers-less? Actually, they recalled a nine-year minor-league veteran and fan favorite: outfielder Brewer Hicklen, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound hitter. The move comes as Atlanta has lost seven of its last nine games and is trying to recover ground in the NL East. In July, the Braves added Hicklen to the roster to replace a player on the 40-man, following his strong Triple-A production for Gwinnett. He was hitting .300 with 16 homers and 55 RBIs. Hicklen previously debuted in MLB with the Royals in 2022 and has also played for the Brewers and Tigers.
