Overview
- Brett Wisely, who cleared waivers Thursday, was assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett by the Braves.
- The team designated the 26-year-old for assignment on Opening Day because he had no minor-league options and Kyle Farmer won the last bench spot.
- He remains in the organization as a non-roster player because he lacks three years of service time and has not been previously outrighted, which removes the right to elect free agency.
- Wisely has struggled in the majors at .214/.265/.319 across nearly 500 plate appearances but owns a .275/.372/.433 line in 835 Triple-A plate appearances.
- He joins Gwinnett’s infield depth with Nacho Alvarez Jr., Rowdy Tellez, Luke Williams and Aaron Schunk, with Alvarez the only 40-man option and the club able to open a spot later by moving injured players to the 60-day IL if needed.
