The Atlanta Journal-Constitution confirms previous reports that Jeff Francoeur will be sent to Double-A Mississippi.
The team apparently wants him to work with Mississippi manager Phillip Wellman, who has tutored Francoeur in the past. Francoeur's agent says that he'll be flying to Mississippi on Friday afternoon and could be in the Double-A lineup as soon as tonight. Jason Perry is expected to be called up to replace him, but the Braves are making a big defensive downgrade in hopes that a minor league stint will bust Francoeur out of his slump.

I do too - I couldn't believe he has struggled as much as he did this year...

well that was quick..

"Braves recalled OF Jeff Francoeur from Double-A Mississippi.
Francoeur lasted three games in Mississippi, where he went 7-for-13 with a triple and two RBI. It's unlikely that one weekend away from the big leagues cured all that ails him, but it certainly could have helped the 24-year-old. Francoeur picked to go to Double-A because he credits manager Phillip Wellman, who used to be the hitting coach, with changing his career during one night of work three years ago. Hopefully the time in the minors gave him at least something to build off of. "

Yeah, it's unlikely that he's "cured" but they put three guys on the DL. What choice did they have but to bring him back up?
