  Dickerson signed with the Chunichi Dragons of the Nippon Professional Baseball on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Dickerson last played affiliated baseball in 2022 as part of Atlanta's organization. He played independent ball in 2023 and will now head overseas in an attempt to revitalize his career.

• Alex Dickerson: Becomes free agent

  10/17/2022 • By RotoWire

  Dickerson elected free agency Monday. Dickerson spent the majority of the 2022 season at Triple-A Gwinnett after being designated for assignment in April, and he's decided to test his luck elsewhere heading into the offseason. The veteran outfielder appeared in 13 games for Atlanta in 2022, going 4-for-33 with one home run, two RBI and three runs scored.

• Braves' Alex Dickerson: Remains in organization

  04/30/2022 • By RotoWire

  Dickerson cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Dickerson was the outfielder to lose his roster spot when Ronald Acuna returned from the injured list, but he'll remain in Atlanta's organization and could still fill a role later in the year. His .121/.194/.212 season slash line is quite poor, but he's hit .255/.325/.460 for his career and could still be useful in at least a part-time role if he recaptures that form.

• Braves' Alex Dickerson: Loses roster spot with Acuna back

  04/28/2022 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta designated Dickerson for assignment Thursday. With Ronald Acuna (knee) cleared to return from his minor-league rehab assignment to make his 2022 MLB debut Thursday against the Cubs, Dickerson will lose his spot on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster. The 31-year-old had been filling a large-side platoon role at designated hitter for most of the season, turning in a paltry .121/.194/.212 slash line over 36 plate appearances. Even if Dickerson goes unclaimed off waivers, Atlanta could release him rather than outrighting him to the minors, which would allow him to pursue a more favorable opportunity elsewhere.

• Braves' Alex Dickerson: Second straight start vs. righty

  04/27/2022 • By RotoWire

  Dickerson will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Dickerson will be included in the starting nine against a right-handed pitcher (Mark Leiter) for the second game in a row, suggesting he's usurped Orlando Arcia as Atlanta's preferred option at DH. Both Dickerson and Arcia will see their opportunities at both DH and in the corner outfield take a hit once Ronald Acuna (knee) is cleared to make his 2022 debut, possibly as soon as this weekend.
