The Atlanta Braves have reassigned infielder Jose Devers to minor-league camp. The 25-year-old tallied 10 at-bats in Grapefruit League play, collecting one hit and a walk while striking out three times. The left-handed hitter will likely start out at Triple-A, which is where he spent nearly all of 2024, but in the Marlins organization. The Dominican slashed .244/.305/.371 with three home runs and four stolen bases in 54 games, so he doesn't offer much with the bat or with his legs. The Braves are going to roll with veteran Orlando Arcia at shortstop this season, with light-hitting Nick Allen backing him up, while Devers will add depth in the minors. Regardless, Devers doesn't move the needle for fantasy at this point.
Free-agent infielder Jose Devers agreed to a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, according to sources. Devers is the cousin of Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers. He spent the last six seasons in the Miami Marlins organization and appeared in 24 games at the big-league level, posting a weak .611 OPS. The 24-year-old Dominican only played in three games for the Fish in 2024 and hit .239/.304/.362 with three home runs, 17 RBI, three stolen bases and 28 runs scored in 54 games at Triple-A Jacksonville. Devers is mostly useful for his glove in the middle infield and he's likely to begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Gwinnett as infield depth for the Braves. In seven minor-league seasons, Devers has slashed .261/.324/.362 with a .686 OPS and only 13 home runs.
Cleveland Guardians shortstop prospect Jose Devers filled the scoresheet on Thursday as he went 3-for-5 with two runs, a home run, two RBI, and a walk. This was another great performance by the young infielder. In his last eight games, he is riding a stellar .321/.394/.536 line with three doubles, one home run, and five RBI. This is a great sign, as the 21-year-old held a modest .229 AVG in June. Through his first 77 games at High-A Lake County, Devers has posted a .244/.305/.355 slash line. He is considered the 19th-best prospect in the Cleveland system on MLB.com and should spend most of next summer at Double-A.
