  Wendle elected free agency Thursday after decling an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett. Wendle was with Atlanta for just three days and didn't play in a game before being designated for assignment. He had enough service time to become a free agent rather than reporting to Gwinnett. Wendle will now be on the lookout for a new organization.

  Atlanta signed Wendle to a one-year contract Friday.

The utility infielder made the All-Star team with the Rays in 2021 but has produced just a .604 OPS in three seasons since then. Wendle will provide depth all over the infield in Atlanta.
