With Lane Thomas (chest) landing on the IL, Keirsey will join the Braves for the first time this season. Keirsey has played exclusively for Triple-A Gwinnett so far this season, posting a .649 OPS with six homers and 40 steals across 109 games.

Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Atlanta Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Keirsey went 6-for-29 with a home run and three stolen bases in 13 games with the Braves this spring. The outfielder has appeared in 80 games - all with the Twins - at the major league level, but has gone just 11-of-97 (.113) with three home runs and three stolen bases. He has fared much better in the minors, hitting .269 with 46 home runs and 142 stolen bases in 515 games. Keirsey is likely ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett.
The Braves have signed outfielder DaShawn Keirsey to a minor-league deal.
Fantasy Impact
Keirsey saw the most game action of his big-league career last season with the Twins, but struggled to a .107 average with two homers in 88 trips to the plate. However, he played solid defense and managed to steal 10 bases despite mostly being used as a defensive replacement.
