ATLANTA -- The future is now for Atlanta Braves?top prospect Dansby Swanson.The No. 1 overall draft pick of 2015 has been called up from Double-A and he will be in the lineup at shortstop on Wednesday against Minnesota, the team announced on Tuesday.An opening for Swanson at the shortstop position was created when the Braves traded veteran shortstop Erick Aybar to the Detroit Tigers. Atlanta received infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Kade Scivicque in the trade.I think that Dansby is going to be able to handle it mentally, Atlanta president of baseball operations John Hart said. Hes not a kid that if he comes in and really struggles right out of the gate that its going to affect him. This is a kid that finds a lot of ways to help you win games other than maybe what he does with the bat.Swanson, acquired last December in the deal that sent starting pitcher Shelby Miller to Arizona, has split the season between Class A Carolina and Double-A Mississippi. In 127 games in the minors, Swanson is hitting .277 with 10 homers and 66 RBIs.Swanson will be the fourth player to make his debut in the majors this season after playing in the College World Series last season.All four of them were taken in the top eight of last years draft. Swanson was picked by the Braves in the No. 1 spot, his former Vanderbilt Commodores teammate Carson Fulmer went to the White Sox, and LSU Tigers Alex Bregman and Andrew Benintendi landed in Houston and Boston.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.Larry Doby Jersey Large .

Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning.

Joe Carter Jersey Large . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside.UCLA added to its top-five recruiting class Sunday when five-star forward Kris Wilkes committed to the Bruins.Wilkes, a North Central High School (Indiana) product, chose the UCLA Bruins over the Indiana Hoosiers and Illinois Fighting Illini.I felt the most comfortable when I went down and felt it was a great school, Wilkes told ESPN.Wilkes, a 6-foot-7 small forward, is ranked No. 14 in the ESPN 100. He took official visits to all three of his finalists in September, but the Bruins emerged as the clear favorite over the past few weeks. UCLA targeted him early in the process, given head coach Steve Alfords roots in the state of Indiana and assistant coach David Graces recruiting efforts.Just watching them play, I see the players got freedom, Wilkes said. And looking at their roster, seeing there was an opening for my position.Wilkes was one of the tougher matchup problems in the 2017 class, being able to score away from the basket against opposing post players as well as on the block against smaller defenders. He averaged 20.0 points and 6.0 rebounds on the Under Armour Association circuit for the Indy Hoosiers AAU program.Wilkes joins a recruiting class that was ranked No. 4 in the country heading into the weekend.dddddddddddd. Hes the fifth member of the group, following three ESPN 100 prospects -- point guard Jaylen Hands (No. 31), power forward Cody Riley (No. 45) and center Jalen Hill (No. 50) -- and three-star shooting guard LiAngelo Ball, the younger brother of UCLA star freshman?Lonzo.With Isaac Hamilton and Bryce Alford graduating after this season, and Ball expected to leave early for the NBA draft, UCLA needed some scoring punch for the 2017-18 campaign. Wilkes brings that ability, and he should have a starting role immediately in the frontcourt, alongside freshman T.J. Leaf and junior center Thomas Welsh.Hopefully I can make a great impact for them coming in as a freshman, Wilkes said. And with the other players coming, we should be real good.With five players now in the fold, UCLA could be finished in the 2017 class. However, depending on what happens with the NBA draft, the Bruins could look for more offensive firepower on the perimeter.UCLA opened its season with a 119-80 win over Pacific on Friday. ' ' '
