  • Braves' Tayler Scott: Joins Atlanta on MiLB pact

    Scott signed a minor-league deal with Atlanta on Dec. 27 that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

    Scott will get the chance to vie for a spot in Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen during spring training, but as a non-roster player, he's more likely to begin the 2026 campaign in the minors. The 33-year-old righty saw action in 25 big-league games in 2025 between stops with the Diamondbacks and Astros, pitching to a 7.90 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB across 27.1 innings.

  • Braves' Sandy Leon: Joining Atlanta for camp

    Atlanta announced Wednesday that Leon will join the big club for spring training as a non-roster invitee.

    The 36-year-old Leon saw action in five games for Atlanta in 2025 before being outrighted off the 40-man roster following the season. After electing free agency in early October, he quickly re-signed with Atlanta on a new minor-league contract. Leon will serve as organizational depth behind the plate and will be a candidate to join the big club if Atlanta happens to be without either Drake Baldwin or Sean Murphy (hip) for any period of time.

  • Braves' Hurston Waldrep: Could begin season in minors

    Waldrep could begin the season at Triple-A Gwinnett, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Waldrep seemingly did enough last season to be locked into Atlanta's rotation, posting a 2.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 55:22 K:BB over 56.1 innings covering nine starts and one extended relief outing. However, several other of the team's rotation candidates cannot be optioned to the minors, while Waldrep can, so the 23-year-old could be a roster casualty as Atlanta seeks to retain depth. Bowman writes that while Waldrep might wind up being the most valuable of the current fifth-starter candidates by the end of the season, if he becomes a "lasting part" of the rotation early on, "then something disastrous will have already happened." Atlanta has Chris Sale and Spencer Strider locked into rotation spots, with Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow), Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) and Grant Holmes (elbow) expected to fill the other slots, if healthy. Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, Martin Perez (shoulder) and Waldrep are among the club's depth starters, and Waldrep is the only one in the group that has minor-league options remaining. Atlanta also remains in the market for additional rotation help, which could push Waldrep farther down the pecking order.

  • Braves' Martin Perez: Goes to Atlanta on minors deal

    Atlanta signed Perez (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Friday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Elbow and shoulder woes limited Perez to just 56 innings in 2025 with the White Sox, but he pitched well when on the bump, collecting a 3.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB. It's unclear whether the shoulder strain that ended his season will affect his readiness for the start of spring training. There isn't room for Perez in Atlanta's rotation when everyone is healthy, but Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow), Grant Holmes (elbow) and Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) all ended the 2025 campaign on IL.

  • Braves' Jordan Groshans: Inks MiLB deal with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Groshans to a minor-league contract Jan. 23.

    Groshans' 2025 campaign was spent mostly at Double-A Northwest Arkansas in the Royals organization, where he slashed .291/.360/.368 with three home runs in 59 contests. The 26-year-old's lone big-league experience came in 2022, when he put up a .619 OPS in 17 games with the Marlins. Groshans is likely ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett, where he'll provide utility infield depth.

  • Braves' George Soriano: DFA'd by Atlanta

    Atlanta designated Soriano for assignment Monday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jose Suarez, who was claimed off waivers. Soriano was a waiver claim of Atlanta himself earlier this month and now could be on the move again. The right-handed reliever has collected a 5.95 ERA and 117:55 K:BB covering 118 innings across parts of three seasons in the big leagues.

  • Braves' Jose Suarez: Going back to Atlanta

    Atlanta claimed Suarez off waivers from the Orioles on Monday.

    Suarez went from Atlanta to Baltimore via waivers earlier this month and is now headed back the other direction. The left-hander made seven appearances (one start) with Atlanta in 2025, finishing with a 1.86 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings of work. Suarez doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so if he's still with Atlanta on Opening Day, he's likely to slide into a long relief role with the big club.

  • Braves' Luke Williams: Returns to Atlanta on MiLB deal

    Atlanta re-signed Williams to a minor-league contract Jan. 18.

    Williams elected free agency earlier in the offseason after being cast off Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he's found his way back into the organization on a minor-league pact. The 29-year-old has managed just a .212/.270/.280 batting line covering parts of five major-league seasons, but Williams will give Atlanta some utility depth.

  • Braves' Sean Reid-Foley: Latches on with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Reid-Foley to a minor-league contract Jan. 14.

    Reid-Foley spent all of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level split between the Mets and Diamondbacks organizations, posting a 7.07 ERA and 39:33 K:BB over 28 innings. The 30-year-old has appeared in parts of seven big-league seasons, holding a 4.10 ERA across 71 appearances (13 starts).

  • Braves' Jorge Mateo: Gets one-year deal from Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Mateo to a one-year contract Monday.

    With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) set to miss at least the first six weeks or so of the season, Atlanta has added Mateo as a depth option at shortstop. The 30-year-old Mateo was plagued by injuries in his last two seasons with the Orioles, finishing with a lowly .177/.217/.266 batting line over 42 contests in 2025. He's healthy, now, though, and offers the ability to play second base, third base and all three outfield spots in addition to shortstop. Mauricio Dubon remains the likely Opening Day starter at shortstop for Atlanta, but Mateo will be in the mix while Kim recuperates from finger surgery.

  • Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Out 4-5 months after finger surgery

    Kim underwent surgery Sunday to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger and is facing an estimated recovery timeline of 4-to-5 months.

    Kim inked a one-year, $20 million contract with Atlanta in December, but he'll now be unavailable for the start of the upcoming campaign after recently sustaining the injury after he slipped on ice while back home in his native South Korea, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. The 30-year-old was limited to 48 games for Tampa Bay and Atlanta last season due to injuries, and his 2026 is also off to an unfortunate start. Based on the initial timeline, Kim shouldn't be expected to make his season debut until at least mid-May but could be out longer, potentially leaving Mauricio Dubon or Nacho Alvarez to fill in at shortstop for much of the first half.
