He will likely begin the season in the Minor Leagues, but the Atlanta Braves haven't ruled out promoting Dansby Swanson to the Major Leagues in 2016.

"I wouldn't rule anything out right now," John Coppolella said of Swanson, Ozzie Albies and Mallex Smith. "They have all been very impressive, and I don't think they could have shown any better than they have."

The Braves acquired Swanson, last year's first overall pick, from the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Shelby Miller trade.
