Braves' Alex Dickerson: Remains in organization
Alex 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
Atlanta designated Alex 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
Alex 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.

Braves' Alex Dickerson: Absent from lineup vs. righty
Alex Dickerson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.The lefty-hitting Dickerson's 1-for-21 start to the season has seemingly resulted in him losing hold of his strong-side platoon role at designated hitter. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third straight game, with his latter two absences from the lineup coming against right-handed starting pitchers in Walker Buehler and Tony Gonsolin. Dickerson's struggles at the plate have allowed Orlando Arcia to settle into a near-everyday role, though both Arcia and Dickerson will likely see their opportunities dwindle as soon as Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Braves' Alex Dickerson: Idle versus lefty
Alex Dickerson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.The lefty-hitting Dickerson served as Atlanta's designated hitter for three of the team's first four games, going hitless with a walk across 10 plate appearances. He'll take a seat Monday with southpaw Josh Rogers on the mound for Washington, allowing the righty-hitting Orlando Arcia to pick up a start. Atlanta appears content to lean on a platoon of Dickerson and Arcia at the DH spot to begin the season, but once Ronald Acuna (knee) is back in action, both players will likely see their opportunities dwindle.
