Overview

  • Atlanta claimed infielder Brett Wisely off waivers from the Giants and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
  • To clear a 40-man spot, the club transferred left-hander Aaron Bummer from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list, effectively ending his 2025 season.
  • Wisely, 26, brings multi-position defense with positive DRS and Outs Above Average grades at second and short, though he owns a .217/.263/.324 line in 457 MLB plate appearances.
  • This is his final minor-league option year, and he remains under team control through 2030.
  • The move feeds into an unsettled shortstop and bench picture that could hinge on Ha-Seong Kim’s $16 million player option and internal candidates such as Nick Allen, Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Vidal Brujan.
