Braves Minor League Recap: AJ Smith-Shawver returned to mound Sunday

The Atlanta Braves had some interesting efforts down on the farm on Sunday, especially on the pitching side of things. AJ Smith-Shawver made his season debut, as well as his first High-A appearance, and pitched a gem. Dylan Dodd made his first minor league start of the season and pitched very well, and a trio of Augusta pitchers threw a shutout. The bats had some standout performances as well, with David McCabe hitting a homer, Luke Waddell having a multi-hit day in Triple-A, and Tyler Collins and Nacho Alvarez also among the standouts.
