Braves Claim RHP George Soriano Off Waivers, Designate INF Brett Wisely

The waiver pickup reflects Atlanta's push for controllable bullpen depth before spring training.

Overview

Soriano, 26, was claimed from the Orioles days after Baltimore designated him following a roster shuffle involving Jhonkensy Noel and Marco Luciano.
He has no minor-league options remaining and is expected to serve as bullpen depth for Atlanta.
Across 72 MLB games and 118 innings, he owns a 5.95 ERA with a 22% strikeout rate and a 10.3% walk rate.
At Triple-A Jacksonville in 2025, he posted a 2.32 ERA with a 28.8% strikeout rate and participated in a combined no-hitter against Nashville.
Wisely, out of options after a September claim from the Giants, was designated for assignment and now faces waivers or a potential trade following the team's DFA of Vidal Bruján earlier this week.
