The Atlanta Braves claimed infielder Rylan Bannon off waivers on Tuesday. The infielder was previously designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Earlier this season, Bannon made his Major League debut for the Baltimore Orioles, collecting a pair of hits in 15 plate appearances. He hit .229 with a .347 on-base percentage, 11 home runs and six stolen bases in 326 plate appearances for Baltimore's Triple-A club this season and will give Atlanta some additional infield depth moving forward.
Dodgers Claim Rylan Bannon Off Waivers From Orioles
The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed third baseman Rylan Bannon off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Monday after he was designated for assignment last week. Bannon was originally drafted by the Dodgers in the eighth round in 2017 out of Xavier University. He got his first taste of major league action with the Orioles this year and went 2-for-14 (.143) with five strikeouts and two runs scored in just four games played. In 78 games at Triple-A Norfolk this year, the 26-year-old hit .229/.347/.407 with 11 home runs, 58 RBI, 45 runs scored and six stolen bases in 326 plate appearances. Bannon will attempt to make a name for himself in the Dodgers minor league system moving forward.
