Johnson claimed, but trade not completed

MILWAUKEE -- Jim Johnson drew trade interest over the past couple of weeks, but he is now positioned to remain in Atlanta's bullpen for the rest of the season.

Johnson was claimed by an unidentified team after the Braves recently placed him on revocable waivers, but the claim was pulled back when a trade could not be completed. Once a player is claimed and a deal is not reached, he can't be passed through waivers and made available to trade over the remainder of the season.

Jeff Francoeur was also placed on revocable waivers, but he went unclaimed and thus can still be traded.
