ATLANTA -- Braves shortstop Erick Aybar has been traded to the Detroit Tigers, clearing a path for Alanta to call up top prospect Dansby Swanson.Swanson, the No. 1 overall draft pick of 2015, will be in the lineup at shortstop on Wednesday against Minnesota in his major league debut.I think that Dansby is going to be able to handle it mentally, said John Hart, Atlantas president of baseball operations. Hes not a kid that if he comes in and really struggles right out of the gate that its going to affect him. This is a kid that finds a lot of ways to help you win games other than maybe what he does with the bat.Atlanta received infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Kade Scivicque in Tuesdays trade.Swanson, acquired last December in the deal that sent starting pitcher Shelby Miller to Arizona, has split the season between Class A Carolina and Double-A Mississippi. In 127 games in the minors, Swanson is hitting .277 with 10 homers and 66 RBI.Aybar gives the Tigers experience at shortstop as Jose Iglesias recovers from a hamstring injury. Aybar is hitting .242 with two homers and 26 RBI and is making $8.5 million in the final year of his contract.This is something that came together in the last 24 hours, Atlanta general manager John Coppolella said. I think they had some injuries and had a need open. Were trying to get better and younger. We feel this trade does that for us.Atlanta acquired Aybar last November with minor league pitcher Sean Newcomb as part of the trade that sent Gold Glove shortstop Andrelton Simmons to the Los Angeles Angels.Aybar, in his 11th big league season, was in the starting lineup for Tuesdays game against Minnesota but was removed after taking batting practice and replaced by Chase dArnaud.Tigers general manager Al Avila wanted to make the deal because he values Aybars versatility as Detroit tries to stay in the AL wild-card race.Hes a switch-hitter, Avila said. He can play short. He can play third. He can play second. Really, if we needed him to, in a pinch, if we had to -- and I hope we dont -- we could throw him in the outfield. But right now he gives us an experienced veteran-type player that we feel will give us a little better offense than, lets say Aviles.Aviles, 35, hit .210 with one homer and six RBI in 68 games with the Tigers.Scivicque, 23, hit .282 with six homers and 41 RBI in 105 games for Single-A Lakeland. Before acquiring Scivicque, the Braves had no significant catching prospects in their minor league system.Scivicque was ranked as Detroits No. 20 prospect before the season by MLB.com.Weve said this is probably our biggest area of need, Coppolella said. We dont have young, upper-level catching. Weve been trying to find it. Hes a good player. Hes a fourth-round pick. Hes got off-the-charts makeup, too. We did a lot of work on him. Hes a great makeup guy. Can really lead a staff.Detroit recalled outfielder Steven Moya from Triple-A Toledo to take Aviles spot on the 25-man roster.Coppolella said second baseman Ozzie Albies, the Braves No. 2 prospect, will stay at Mississippi for now, but could be in Atlanta soon.Albies moved from shortstop to second base this year so the Braves could watch him play alongside Swanson. But at 19, Albies is three years younger than Swanson and needs more time in the minors.Well kind of go day by day with him and see how it goes, Coppolella said. Hes got a bright future. It wont be long before hes up here soon, and therell be a lot of good, young players following as well.---Associated Press freelance writer Dave Hogg in Detroit contributed to this report.

Simon Mignolet Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Kansas coach David Beaty is still waiting for that first celebration on the plane ride back home.Beaty was the receivers coach under Mark Mangino the last time the Jayhawks won a road game in 2009. When Beaty was named the teams head coach last season, he inherited a 30-game road losing streak.Kansas will try to summon the will to avoid that streak hitting 40 on Saturday at No. 14 West Virginia (6-1, 3-1 Big 12, No. 20 CFP).To have a chance, Beaty said his players must start fast because they tend to fade as the game goes on. The Jayhawks have been held under 10 points in two of their last three contests.Given our roster and just the amount of depth that we have, at times youre going to get wore down a little bit. We understand that, Beaty said.Despite the teams struggles, including a 56-3 loss at Oklahoma last week , Beaty said he is sticking with Montell Cozart as his starting quarterback. Cozart has thrown four interceptions in the past two weeks.The Jayhawks (1-7, 0-5) have lost 17 straight Big 12 games. Theyll have a chance to severely damage West Virginias conference title hopes.The Mountaineers are coming off their first loss , 37-20 at Oklahoma State. They still face No. 12 Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor at home and Texas and Iowa State on the road.Coach Dana Holgorsen is simply looking for improvements on offense, no matter the opponent this week, after the Mountaineers were held to their second-lowest point total of the season against the Cowboys.We have to score, Holgorsen said. We just have to be in the right frame of mind, and we will be this Saturday.West Virginia has held four straight opponents to under 400 yards of offense after failing to do that in the first three games of the season. The Mountaineers have allowed 16 touchdowns all season, one less than Baylor.Im happy with where we are at, said West Virginia defensive coordinator TTony Gibson.dddddddddddd Being the defensive coach, I think whether it is conference titles, national titles, whatever it may be, thats the way you win championships. Were not talking about that in our building. Thats a long way away. We have to be able to beat Kansas, so we have to prepare to get ourselves ready to go.---Some other things to know as the Jayhawks and Mountaineers prepare to play at night:TURNOVER TROUBLES: Kansas is last in the nation in turnovers and next-to-last in turnover margin. West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard had a fumble and two interceptions against Oklahoma State after West Virginias offense had no turnovers in the two previous games.GIMPY SHELL: Last year at Kansas, West Virginia had three 100-yard rushers for the first time since 1969. One of those was Rushel Shell, who tweaked an ankle against Oklahoma State last week and is listed as day-to-day. Teammates Justin Crawford and freshman Kennedy McKoy are expected to get most of the carries again if Shell cant go.DINEEN OUT: Kansas linebacker Joe Dineen was declared done for the season this week with a hamstring injury. He played in the first three games before the injury relegated him to the bench.FAN SUPPORT: Dineen and several other Kansas players shaved their heads this week to support a 7-year-old boy with cancer. Cole Hayden, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called undifferentiated sarcoma, is the son of the teams academic and career counselor.BECHT BACK: Former West Virginia standout tight end Anthony Becht will return to Morgantown for the first time as a network color analyst. On Friday night he was scheduled to attend a roast in Morgantown for retired Mountaineers coach Don Nehlen.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys 2020 Jerseys NFL China China Jerseys ' ' '
