Braves Sign Peyton Glavine to Minor-League Deal With Expected Double-A Assignment

The 26-year-old lefty gets a fresh chance in Atlanta’s system after a High-A season with modest peripherals following a recent Tommy John recovery.

Overview

  • MLB’s transactions log shows Peyton Glavine has signed with Atlanta, with multiple reports indicating an expected start at Double-A Columbus.
  • Peyton is a left-handed pitcher and the son of Hall of Famer Tom Glavine, whose legacy with the Braves amplifies interest in the move.
  • He posted a 3.42 ERA across four minor-league seasons in the Nationals’ system and worked mostly in relief across 53 appearances.
  • In 2025 at High-A Wilmington, he recorded a 3.64 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 42 innings, reflecting a 6.2 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9 that raised concerns.
  • News accounts differ on his entry into pro ball, with one citing an undrafted 2021 Nationals signing and another noting a 2017 37th-round Angels selection before joining Washington.
