The Braves are releasing veteran first baseman Carlos Santana from Triple-A Gwinnett, making him a free agent as he seeks another opportunity. At 40, Santana has struggled recently, hitting just .083 with the Diamondbacks in 2026 and facing injury setbacks. However, he rebounded at Gwinnett, posting a .292 average in 104 plate appearances. With Matt Olson solidifying first base and limited roster space, the Braves opted to part ways with him.
