The Braves would like to add a right-handed pinch hitter, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). Atlanta is looking for a player to complement the left-handed hitting Eric Hinske as a weapon off of the bench late in games.
Braves pinch hitters have eight homers and a .201/.250/.390 line this year. Among the names GM Frank Wren could consider as he looks for right-handed bench help: Casey Blake, Jamey Carroll, Ty Wigginton, Reed Johnson, Miguel Cairo, Jonny Gomes, Aaron Hill and Josh Willingham.
