Overview

  • Atlanta claimed Brett Wisely off waivers from San Francisco on September 18 and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
  • To create 40-man roster space, the Braves transferred left-hander Aaron Bummer from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
  • Wisely, 26, has played 164 MLB games with a .217/.263/.324 career slash line and time at second base, shortstop, third base and center field.
  • Advanced defensive metrics, including Defensive Runs Saved and Outs Above Average, have rated Wisely positively at the positions he has handled.
  • This is Wisely’s final option year, and though he is under team control through 2030 he must make a 2026 Opening Day roster to avoid another DFA and waivers.
