Jackson Stephens battled injuries throughout the 2023 season, but did make it back to the majors with the Atlanta Braves where he pitched pretty well in a small sample.
How Acquired?
The Braves originally acquired Stephens when he agreed to a minor league contract on January 29, 2022. He was a free agent again at the end of the 2022 season and re-signed with Atlanta on a split contract on December 26.
Stephens’ offseason included an amusing quirk: he was designated for assignment when the Braves acquired reliever Dennis Santana from the Rangers.
