The Atlanta Braves have recalled outfielder Alex Verdugo to their active roster in a bid to enhance their outfield performance. Verdugo's 2024 season with the Yankees was less than stellar, hitting just .233 with an 83 wRC+, but he brings power potential and a left-handed bat. His addition comes as Bryan De La Cruz, who has struggled at the plate, is sent to Triple-A Gwinnett. The Braves have been seeking to strengthen their lineup, particularly in the lower order, emphasizing the importance of Verdugo's contribution.
The Braves have been brandishing a 'help wanted' sign in the bottom of the lineup spots, so hopefully Verdugo can fill the role.
Verdugo's 2024 season with the Yankees yielded a .233/.291/.356 line with an 83 wRC+ and 0.6 WAR.
