Swanson will be called up from Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The Braves dealt Erick Aybar to the Tigers on Tuesday, clearing room for their top prospect to join the major league roster. Swanson is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday to face Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson in his big league debut. While Swanson saw a significant drop in production after moving up to Mississippi and may be in line for more growing pains with another jump in levels, he will gain valuable experience over the final couple months in preparation for the Opening Day nod in 2017.
