Charlie Culberson News
The Atlanta Braves signed Charlie Culberson to a minor-league deal on Friday as a pitcher. The 34-year-old former infielder/outfielder is returning to the Braves after playing in just one game at the major-league level for them in 2023. He also spent three seasons in Atlanta from 2018-20, hitting .265/.314/.454 with 17 home runs and 66 RBI in 230 games played. Culberson has actually thrown 7 1/3 innings in his big-league career in mop-up duty and only allowed one run, so perhaps there's something there. It will be an interesting storyline for the Braves in spring training in 2024, but Culberson will almost certainly begin the year in the minor leagues and will be a long shot to become fantasy relevant, let alone pitch out of the Braves' bullpen.
The Atlanta Braves selected the contract of infielder Charlie Culberson from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday and transferred infielder Ehire Adrianza (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Culberson will come up to provide veteran infield depth for the weekend after the Braves optioned rookie Braden Shewmake to Gwinnett on Thursday. The 34-year-old played with Atlanta from 2019-21 and will get another shot for the organization in a bench role for the time being. Last year with the Texas Rangers, Culberson hit .283 (29-for-115) with six doubles, two home runs, 12 RBI, two stolen bases and 19 runs scored in 68 games. He's unlikely to provide meaningful numbers, even in the deepest of fantasy leagues.
The Atlanta Braves have signed infielder Charlie Culberson to a minor-league deal. The 33-year-old was released by the Tampa Bay Rays a week ago. He'll make his return to Atlanta after spending 2018-2020 with the team. Since then, Culberson has served in a bench role with the Texas Rangers. The expectation is that he'll head to Triple-A and serve as additional depth for the organization. It's unlikely that Culberson has any fantasy value even if he makes it to the Braves roster.
