The injury-plagued Atlanta Braves are expected to sign third baseman Gio Urshela, according to multiple reports.
The Braves reportedly will add Urshela to their roster Tuesday, one day after announcing that star third baseman Austin Riley will miss six to eight weeks with a broken hand.
Urshela, 32, was released Sunday by the Tigers after clearing outright waivers. The nine-year veteran appeared in 92 games this season for Detroit, batting .243 with five home runs and 37 RBIs.
The Braves hope Urshela will help fill the void created by the injury to Riley, who was hit on his right hand by a pitch during Sunday's victory over the Angels.
