Atlanta Braves: Jacob Webb nears return, Lane Adams back on minors deal

The Atlanta Braves added to their position player depth and could have yet another reliever coming back to strengthen the pen even further.

Reliever Jacob Webb took a step towards returning to the Atlanta Braves bullpen. After beginning a rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Braves on July 29, he pitched a scoreless inning and was transferred to Gwinnett on Wednesday where he pitched another scoreless inning against the Norfolk Tides.

Webb, though never a highly touted prospect, has been a valuable asset to the Atlanta Braves bullpen, but has been sidelined since July 16 with an elbow impingement.
