"Nathan Wiles made one appearance and pitched all of one (1) inning for the Atlanta Braves in 2025. That's one more inning than each and every one of us! Now it's time to take a look at how the 2025 season went for Wiles - even if his appearance in Atlanta was a cameo at best. The Braves and Rays usually get a nice, long look at each other during Spring Training, given the proximity between their homes-away-from-home."
"The Braves must've liked what they saw from Nathan Wiles, because they decided to make a deal with the Rays that brought Wiles over from Tampa's camp to Atlanta's camp in exchange for cash considerations while Grapefruit League action was still ongoing. Based on how much they used Wiles in Triple-A compared to the cup of coffee that he received while he was in the bigs, it's clear that the Braves did like Wiles, but they liked him strictly as organizational depth."
"Up until he was traded to Atlanta, Wiles worked as a swingman in the Rays' system. His most recent campaign was pretty underwhelming, with ERA estimators (and ERA) all above 5.00 across 87 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. Given that it was his third (or second, if you discount a single start there in 2022) go-round at that level, it wasn't exactly an encouraging 2024 season in his age-25 campaign."
Nathan Wiles appeared in one MLB game for the Atlanta Braves in 2025, pitching a single inning. Atlanta acquired Wiles from the Tampa Bay Rays during Grapefruit League play in exchange for cash considerations. The Braves viewed Wiles primarily as organizational depth and used him sparingly in the big leagues. He had worked as a swingman in the Rays' system and posted disappointing Triple-A numbers in 2024 with ERA and estimators above 5.00 across 87 2/3 innings. After the trade, Wiles produced a 3.04 ERA and 4.15 FIP over 112 2/3 innings with Gwinnett, mainly as a starter and swingman.
