The Atlanta Braves have outrighted infielder Brett Wisely to their Triple-A affiliate in Gwinnett after he cleared waivers. Wisely, a 26-year-old utility player, has spent parts of the last three seasons in the majors with the Braves and San Francisco Giants, hitting .214 with 7 home runs and 49 RBIs over 420+ at-bats.

Why it matters

The Braves' decision to outright Wisely to the minors reflects the team's depth and the competitive nature of their roster. As a fringe MLB player, Wisely will now look to continue developing his skills in the minors with the hope of earning another shot at the big-league level.

The details

Wisely was previously designated for assignment by the Braves on Opening Day. After clearing waivers, he will remain in the organization in a non-roster capacity, as he does not have the service time to elect free agency. In 2025, Wisely hit .208 in 48 at-bats with the Giants and went 0-for-6 with the Braves.
