Overview

  • Atlanta assigned Jarred Kelenic, Alexis Díaz, Dane Dunning, Sandy León and Luke Williams to Triple-A Gwinnett after they cleared waivers unclaimed.
  • Reuters reported that Kelenic, Díaz and Dunning have chosen free agency following their outright assignments.
  • The moves mark an early step in the Braves’ effort to realign personnel for the 2026 season.
  • With 10 players ending the year on the 60-day injured list, the team still must execute further transactions to create 40-man space.
  • Kelenic hit 15 homers for Atlanta in 2024, Díaz was a 2023 All-Star who struggled in 2025, and Dunning owns a 4.44 ERA across 102 career starts.
