Medlen, who was assigned to Gwinnett on June 9, is working to resurrect his career in the Braves' system after two separate "Tommy John" surgeries in 2010 and 2014. The 31-year-old pitcher was assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett from the Double-A Mississippi Braves.
Medlen played with the Atlanta Braves organization in 2009-2013 and is back for the 2017 season.
