Braves Claim RHP George Soriano, DFA Infielder Brett Wisely

Overview

• The Braves announced the waiver claim of George Soriano from the Orioles on Friday and designated Brett Wisely to open a 40-man roster spot.
• Soriano, 26, has no minor-league options remaining but is under team control for multiple seasons, positioning him as a middle-relief candidate rather than a late-inning fixture.
• He has logged 72 MLB appearances and 118 innings with a 5.95 ERA, yet he pairs mid-90s velocity with strong 2025 Triple-A results for Jacksonville, including a 2.32 ERA and a 28.8% strikeout rate.
• Baltimore had claimed Soriano from Miami in November and designated him earlier this week during roster shuffles, as both the Orioles and Braves have aggressively cycled fringe 40-man players this offseason.
• Wisely, acquired by Atlanta from the Giants in September, appeared in four games for the Braves with three walks and no hits, and now enters waivers with the possibility of being claimed or remaining in the organization if he clears.
