The Braves signed outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to a minor league contract after he became a free agent when the Twins designated him for assignment. Keirsey, who made his MLB debut in 2024 and played 74 games last season, struggled with a .107 average, though he excelled in the minors with a .284 average and 19 homers over 186 games. At 28, he aims to secure a backup role on Atlanta’s Opening Day roster amid a deep outfield lineup. His versatility and speed add value, despite concerns about strikeouts.
