ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have added another potential contender for playing time in left field by signing Kevin Pillar to a minor-league contract.
Pillar confirmed the deal Friday, tweeting that he was “beyond excited” to be joining the Braves. He would reportedly make $3 million if he cracks the big league roster.
“Can't wait to join such a historic franchise and help these guys get back on top!” Pillar said.
The 34-year-old outfielder played in just four big league games for the Dodgers last season before fracturing his shoulder.
