The Atlanta Braves have removed outfielder Dian Toscano from the team's 40-man roster.
The Atlanta Braves officially announced the signing of catcher Tyler Flowers on Wednesday. To make room on the 40-man roster, Atlanta outrighted outfielder Dian Toscano who passed through waivers.
Flowers is expected to split time at catcher with A.J. Pierzynski. He hit .239 with nine homers and 39 RBIs for the White Sox last season. Flowers deal is for two years with a club option for 2018.
The Braves signed Toscano to a four-year deal worth $6 million prior to last season, but visa issues kept him sidelined until November.
