Braves World Series Champ In Minor Leagues
With the season well underway, it’s worth noting that a former Braves World Series Champion is currently playing in the Minor Leagues.
Tucker Davidson is a member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization (Triple-A).
So far, he has gone 3-3 with a 6.50 ERA in 12 games.
Looking At Davidson’s Career
Davidson was picked in the 19th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
He spent the first 2.5 seasons of his career with the Braves.
The 30-year-old was also a member of their 2021 World Series Championship roster.
Following Atlanta, Davidson had stints with the Los Angeles Angels, Kansas City Royals and Baltimore Orioles over five total MLB seasons.
He has gone 4-10 with a 5.76 ERA in 56 career games.
Over the offseason, Davidson signed a Minor League deal with the Phillies.
Davidson could be a good option for the Phillies to call up at some point before the end of the 2026 season.
While he hasn’t had a good season in Triple-A, he is an ideal pitcher to have for depth in case of injuries.
Phillies And Braves Right Now
The Phillies are currently the second-place team in the National League East with a 37-31 record in 68 games.
They are 7-3 over their last ten games.
Meanwhile, the Braves are at the top of the division with a 45-23 record in 68 games.
