They have signed Brewer Hicklen to a Minor League deal. The 29-year-old outfielder has played parts of three MLB seasons with the Royals, Brewers and Tigers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6x\">Just Baseball&#8217;s Aram Leighton was the first to have this report. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Atlanta Braves and Brewer Hicklen have agreed to a Minor League deal. Hicklen, 29, has seen limited action in parts of three MLB seasons with the Royals, Brewers and Tigers.<\/p>\n<p>In 410 career Triple-A games Hicklen has hit .240\/.346\/.464 with 76 HR and 125 SB on 137 tries.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aram Leighton (@AramLeighton8) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AramLeighton8\/status\/1992079246202638800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">November 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\">In 410 career Triple-A games, Hicklen has hit .240\/.346\/.464 with 76 home runs, 246 RBIs and 125 stolen bases. He played one game with the Detroit Tigers in 2025, going two for three, with a walk and a stolen base. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">His 255 total stolen bases in the minor leagues make him an interesting candidate to potentially become a go-to pinch runner for the Braves next season. It has made for a nice stepping stone for players to get more action in the big leagues, including Eli White, who is now the team&#8217;s fourth outfielder. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">Outside of potentially being that, or even an late game defensive substitution since he has experience at outfield potisition, this is a move that is strictly depth. The Braves outfield has its options, Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr., Michael Harris II and Jurickson Profar. White, Vidal Brujan and Mauricio Dubon can all play outfield, as well as the infield. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">Hicklen will likely be an outfielder for Triple-A Gwinnett barring an injury during the season. They happen, so he could at least spend time in the Majors this season, albeit likely not see much action. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">The last few days have kept the team busy. Wednesday night, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/braves\/onsi\/transactions\/atlanta-braves-raisel-iglesias-reach-agreement\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they re-signed closer Raisel Iglesias<\/a> while also completing a trade with the Houston Astros for Dubon. Since then, they&#8217;ve settled contracts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/braves\/onsi\/transactions\/braves-making-final-decisions-on-nontender-candidates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ahead of the non-tender deadline<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7i\">White, Dubon, Dylan Lee, Jose Suares and Joey Wentz all had their contracts tendered to them. Alek Manoah and Carson Ragsdale were non-tendered and are now free agents. <\/p>\n<p>More From Atlanta Braves on SI<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Atlanta Braves add more outfield depth to the system.
