The Braves have designated Alex Verdugo for assignment, allowing Jurickson Profar to take his place on the roster after completing an 80-game PED suspension. Verdugo, who signed with Atlanta on a one-year, $1.5MM deal, started his tenure well, achieving a batting line of .322/.385/.441 through his first 65 plate appearances. However, his performance significantly dropped after May 6, leading to a disappointing batting line of .203/.257/.225 over the subsequent 148 plate appearances. This roster change reflects recent player performance dynamics within the Braves organization.
