The Atlanta Braves have secured infielder Jonathan Ornelas from the Texas Rangers in exchange for cash considerations, as confirmed by both teams. This acquisition comes in the wake of the Braves designating Orlando Arcia for assignment, creating an available slot on their 40-man roster. Ornelas is primarily a defensively-oriented infielder and has a brief MLB career with only 30 games and 54 plate appearances since debuting in 2023. His arrival provides the Braves with additional depth behind Luke Williams, who has been filling in as the primary backup infielder.
