Per MLBTradeRumors, Atlanta Braves infielder Brett Wisely has cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.
“He’ll remain in the organization in a non-roster capacity, as he doesn’t have the previous career outright or three years of service time to elect free agency.”
Wisely previously spent some time with the San Francisco Giants, and has 420+ at-bats in the majors since 2023.

Brett Wisely’s MLB Career
As mentioned, MLBTradeRumors.com was quick on this news and provided insight into Brett Wisely’s MLB career:
“The 26-year-old Wisely has appeared at the big league level in each of the past three seasons. He spent the majority of that time with the Giants, who lost him on waivers to Atlanta in the waning days of the 2025 campaign. Wisely is a .214/.265/.319 hitter in a little under 500 trips to the plate at the MLB level. He has been a much more productive offensive player in the minors, batting .275/.372/.433 over 835 Triple-A plate appearances.”
Brett Wisely will join a cast of characters in the Braves minor league system that are fringe MLB players. That group includes Nacho Alvarez Jr., Rowdy Tellez, and Luke Williams.
