Peterson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Peterson's bat was too weak for even the rebuilding Braves earlier in the season; he was optioned in May after slashing .182/.260/.205 in his first 50 plate appearances. He really wasn't much better at Triple-A though, hitting .186/.258/.533 in a larger sample. He should figure into the team's depth at second base and outfield, but the bat isn't strong enough to make him a significant asset.
