Alex Verdugo spent most of spring training without a team before he signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves a week before Opening Day.
The former Boston Red Sox outfielder has been with Atlanta’s Triple-A affiliate since the start of the season, but could soon find himself back in the big leagues.
According to The Athletic’s David O’Brien, “all signs point” to Verdugo joining the Braves during their series with the Blue Jays in Toronto or when they return to Atlanta on Friday.
Verdugo, who spent last season with the New York Yankees, didn’t receive a single MLB offer until the Braves elected to sign him.
