Overview
- Minnesota claimed switch-hitting utility player Vidal Brujan from the Braves after Atlanta designated him for assignment.
- Catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot, which remains full after the move.
- Brujan logged time with the Cubs, Orioles and Braves in 2025 and hit .253/.305/.310 in roughly 95 plate appearances, while his career MLB line sits at .199/.267/.276 over 645 trips.
- The 28-year-old has played every position except catcher in the majors, but he must be carried on the active roster or pass through waivers before any Triple-A assignment.
- Gasper, a switch-hitter with a strong Triple-A track record and limited MLB production, now heads to waivers after appearing in 45 games for Minnesota last season.
