Hector Olivera, Manny Banuelos expected to be among September call-ups

Some familiar faces are expected to join Atlanta tomorrow when rosters expand, along with a brand new and exciting addition

For some time now, many of us have been speculating as to who will be called up to the majors for the month of September. During that month, major league rosters are expanded to include the entire 40 man roster, if for no other reason than to spell players on teams who are in the midst of playoff races or to give teams a chance to look at young talent at a higher level of competition.

In almost all cases, these have only included players who are currently on the 40 man roster (its rare that a player is added to the 40 man roster and then added to the major league team in September).
