The Atlanta Braves were already poised to sign relief pitcher Enoli Paredes this week. But also Wednesday, the Braves added two new position players -- catcher Yohel Pozo and infielder Charles Leblanc.

Atlanta officially signed all three players to minor league contracts on Nov. 13.

A 27-year-old Venezuelan catcher, Pozo hasn't played in the majors since 2021. But he's excelled offensively the past three seasons at Triple-A.

Last season, he slashed .324/.335/.538 with 15 home runs, 54 RBI and 49 runs in 361 plate appearances with Triple-A Las Vegas.
