After signing a minor league contract this offseason, outfielder Alex Verdugo is expected to join the Atlanta Braves later this week.
Per a report in The Athletic:
A Braves official said it was a scheduled lighter work day (on Sunday) for Verdugo after he’d played all 14 innings of a doubleheader Saturday. However, all signs point to Verdugo joining the Braves this week, either in Toronto or when they begin a homestand Friday against the Minnesota Twins.
Verdugo, 28, was drafted in the second round of the 2014 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers and ascended to one of the better prospects in the game.
