Braves call up ex-Yankees slugger, N.J. native

Mike Ford is back in the big leagues. Again.

Rotoworld reports the Atlanta Braves called up Ford Friday from Triple-A Gwinnett. It was just four days ago the Braves sent down Ford after a four-game run with Atlanta, during which he went hitless in five plate appearances.

The Braves claimed Ford off waivers last month from the Seattle Mariners.

Ford has been a road warrior this season. The 30-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners in March before being designated for assignment by Seattle in April.
