Hector Neris was part of the pitching staff that helped clinch the 2022 World Series title for the Houston Astros.
Now, the 35-year-old right-hander is looking for a new job.
On Wednesday, Neris elected to hit free agency after the Atlanta Braves designated him for assignment earlier this week, per the MLB transactions log.
By electing for free agency, that means Neris likely refused an assignment to the minor leagues.
He joined the Braves as a free agent in March on a minor-league contract and pitched well enough to make the opening day roster.
