Alex Verdugo DFA’d after woeful Braves stint
NY Post
Alex Verdugo’s tenure in Atlanta is already over.
The ex-Yankees outfielder was designated for assignment by the Braves on Wednesday, barely halfway through the season, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
Verdugo, 29, is now out of a job after signing a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Atlanta in late March, which followed a long offseason of searching for his next team.
After spending the first few weeks in the minors, Verdugo was called up in mid-April, hitting .341/.396/.455 in 48 plate appearances through the first month.
But it all went downhill from there.
Verdugo finished his Braves stint hitting .239/.296/.289 with zero home runs in 213 plate appearances.
