Veteran catcher Sandy Leon has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Atlanta Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Leon has played parts of 13 seasons in the major leagues and is a career .207 hitter with 35 home runs in 559 games with seven different franchises. He was just 1-for-14 with the Braves this spring. The 37-year-old will continue to provide a veteran presence at the position for the Braves' minor league system.
Atlanta announced Wednesday that Leon will attend spring training as a non-roster invitee. He elected free agency in early October after being outrighted off the 40-man roster following the 2025 season, then re-signed with the organization on a minor-league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Leon appeared in five games for the Braves in 2025. Atlanta's catching depth chart currently includes Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy, who is dealing with a hip injury.
