Carey (heel) has gone 1-for-7 with a double and an 0:4 BB:K in two games since being reinstated from High-A Rome's 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Carey had been on the shelf for just under two months due to a heel injury before being cleared to return to the Rome lineup after completing a six-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 19-year-old outfielder is slashing .250/.316/.423 with one home run and one stolen base over 57 plate appearances in the South Atlantic League this season.

Braves' Owen Carey: Missing in action at High-A
Rotowire
High-A Rome placed Carey on the 7-day injured list April 24 with an undisclosed injury.
Carey, who won't turn 20 until July, is one of the youngest hitters at High-A and slashed .267/.340/.444 with one home run, one steal and a 14 percent strikeout rate in 12 games prior to the injury. It was a small sample, but Carey cut his groundball rate from 49.3 percent at Single-A to 36.8 percent at High-A, which was leading to a career-best .178 ISO.
