Welcome back Jordan!
According to a tweet from David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Jordan Schafer has been recalled from Gwinnett, and Jose Constanza has been optioned to Gwinnett to create room.
#Braves are activating Schafer for tomorrow and optioning Constanza back to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Jordan Schafer had been great before his ankle injury in July, posting a .312/.399/.464 line. His wOBA was .380, and his wRC+ was 145. Those are very good numbers for a bench bat. Part of his success was BABIP-aided (his babip of .414 was far from sustainable), but given that he was able to produce that over a decent number of plate appearances, we should expect his production to continue.
At least he should be better than Jose Constanza, who posted a .160/.160/.160, .142 wOBA,  -21 wRC+ while up with the big club. Also, it seems that Jordan is a popular player in the clubhouse, and is gaining popularity among the fanbase, so his return is greatly anticipated.
