Braves infielder\u00a0Brett Wisely<\/a> cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker<\/a>. He\u2019ll remain in the organization in a non-roster capacity, as he doesn\u2019t have the previous career outright or three years of service time to elect free agency.<\/p>\n

Wisely was designated for assignment as part of Atlanta\u2019s Opening Day roster shuffle. He\u2019s out of minor league options and needed to win a spot on the season-opening bench or go on waivers. Atlanta carried\u00a0Kyle Farmer<\/a> as their final bench piece to squeeze Wisely off the roster. The Braves had already designated him for assignment once over the offseason. They traded him to Tampa Bay, then reacquired him a month later for cash.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Wisely has appeared at the big league level in each of the past three seasons. He spent the majority of that time with the Giants, who lost him on waivers to Atlanta in the waning days of the 2025 campaign. Wisely is a .214\/.265\/.319 hitter in a little under 500 trips to the plate at the MLB level. He has been a much more productive offensive player in the minors, batting .275\/.372\/.433 over 835 Triple-A plate appearances.<\/p>\n

Wisely joins\u00a0Nacho Alvarez Jr.<\/a>, Rowdy Tellez<\/a>,\u00a0Luke Williams<\/a> and\u00a0Aaron Schunk<\/a> among depth infielders with Gwinnett. Alvarez is the only one of that group who occupies a 40-man spot. He\u2019s their only healthy rostered position player below the MLB level, though the Braves have three or four players who could go on the 60-day injured list if they need to create 40-man space following any injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Braves infielder\u00a0Brett Wisely cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[190537,49,48,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-576470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-brett-wisely","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
