Pache is on the short list of Atlanta prospects who could get promoted to the big-league roster in the near future, Gabriel Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ronald Acuna is currently dealing with a sore wrist -- although the team is hoping he can avoid a stint on the injured list -- and Ender Inciarte is struggling with a .517 OPS, so there could be an opportunity for Pache in center field given his MLB-ready glove. The 21-year-old's bat is a bigger question mark, but if Inciarte isn't hitting anyway, Atlanta may want to bump him aside for Pache now to see whether the kid will be ready for a larger role in 2021. Acuna winding up on the IL would also create a vacancy in the outfield Pache could fill, but the team doesn't view him as only a short-term replacement. If and when Pache gets promoted, it's likely to be for good.
