He also spent time in the big leagues with the Reds, Padres, Indians, White Sox and Rockies, grabbing 872 hits while slashing .259/.332/.404.

Braves' Yonder Alonso: Added to major-league roster
Yonder Alonso's contract was selected by the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.Alonso signed a minor-league contract with the Braves in February and didn't fare very well during spring training. However, he apparently impressed enough during summer camp to earn a spot on the major-league roster to open the season. While the 33-year-old might not have a role in the majors over the entire season, he could see some playing time early on if Freddie Freeman (illness) isn't ready for Opening Day.

Braves' Yonder Alonso: Signs minors deal with Atlanta
Yonder Alonso signed a minor-league contract with the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.Alonso spent time with the Rockies and White Sox in 2019, hitting .199/.296/.346 with 10 home runs, 37 RBI and 34 runs in 335 plate appearances. The 32-year-old aims to become the backup first baseman behind four-time All-Star Freddie Freeman, depending on whether Austin Riley earns the everyday third-base job in spring training. Alonso will look to make an impact during spring training in an effort to solidify his spot on the Braves' opening day roster as a power-hitting option off the bench.

Rockies' Yonder Alonso: Plates run in loss
Yonder Alonso went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals.Alonso was making just his seventh start of August while regular first baseman Daniel Murphy received a maintenance day. As a veteran on a non-contending club who is headed for free agency this winter, Alonso is unlikely to see a notable uptick in opportunities over the final few weeks of the season unless Murphy succumbs to an injury.

Rockies' Yonder Alonso: Hits first homer with Rockies
Yonder Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 3-2 loss against the Reds on Sunday.The long ball was his first with the Colorado Rockies since joining the team on July 23. Maybe this is a sign of good things to come for Alonso, who has two multiple hit games and two instances of coming through with pinch hits in six games with the Rockies. Overall, Alonso is batting .195 with eight home runs, 30 RBI and 27 runs in 231 at-bats with the White Sox and Rockies this season, but he's 6-for-12 (.500) in Colorado.

Rockies' Yonder Alonso: Two doubles in first start for Rox
Yonder Alonso went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in a 3-2 loss to the Nationals during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.Making his first start for the Colorado Rockies and hitting fifth, Alonso scored the club's only two runs on the afternoon. The 32-year-old isn't likely to see consistent action for Colorado, as he doesn't even offer a platoon advantage at first base against LHP over Daniel Murphy. However, Alonso can only help his chances for playing time with performances like this.
