Wanderers announce trade for infielders Jonathan Ornelas Take cash precautions to the brave. Texas designated his mission earlier this week Michael Helman Waiver from Pittsburgh. After yesterday's DFA, Atlanta has opened in a 40-man lineup Orlando Arcia. They chose Ornelas to Triple-A Gwinnett so there is no need for further relocation.
Ornelas changes the organization for the first time. Texas selected him out of high school in the third round of 2018. He was never a great little league batsman, but he was a versatile defender with enough athleticism and arm strength to play on the left side of the infield. Texas added him to the 40-man roster to get him out of the Rule 5 draft after the 2022 season. This is the best .299/.360/.425 in a career showing a 22-year-old in Double-A.
Right-handed batsmen have been matching the piece since they were promoted to Triple-A. His career was .247/.348/.333 batsman in three seasons, and he played at the highest minor league level in three seasons. These include .204/.339/.235 this year starts with 30 games. He has played several times in 30 MLB games, dating back to 2023. Ornelas hit 20 times with 54 Big League Plate appearances, but reached .184 without home runs.
Atlanta has limited roster flexibility in position players. The only batsman in the active roster that has a minor league selection is Michael Harris II With the rookie catcher Drake Baldwinneither of them was in danger of being sent down. Luke Williams Now, they have moved on from Arcia.
Justin Toscano of Atlanta Diary Constitution relayed yesterday Eli White Pre-game infield representatives will be used to provide more flexibility on the bench. In his final year, Ornelas could spend the rest of his season at Gwinnett to replace Alter Williams and White if the Brave decides to make any changes.
