Atlanta Braves Sign Veteran Outfielder Andrew McCutchen to Minor-League Deal
The former National League MVP is expected to report to Triple-A after batting .192 with one home run in 37 games for Texas, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Atlanta Braves signed 39-year-old outfielder Andrew McCutchen to a minor-league contract, adding the former National League MVP before their series against the New York Mets.
- Injuries to stars like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Sean Murphy have hampered the Braves, who are 5-13 over their last 18 games, prompting the need for veteran depth.
- Following Thursday's 11-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the club optioned RHP James Karinchak to Triple-A Gwinnett and designated RHP Ian Hamilton for assignment.
- To reinforce the pitching staff, the Braves recalled RHP Anthony Molina from Triple-A and reinstated LHP Danny Young from the injured list for Friday's series.
- McCutchen, with over 2,299 career games, will report to Triple-A Gwinnett as the veteran seeks to provide depth for Atlanta's 2026 World Series contention.
