The Braves reassigned power-hitting prospects Austin Riley and Alex Jackson and reliever Luke Jackson to minor league camp Tuesday.

None of the moves was surprising, as Riley and Alex Jackson have less than a half-season above Single-A ball and Luke Jackson was removed from the 40-man roster in the fall.

In Grapefruit League games this spring, Riley hit 5-for-24 (.208) with two homers, three walks and 10 strikeouts and Alex Jackson was 4-for-18 (.222) with a double and nine strikeouts.
