Availability
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.
The Atlanta Braves selected Sandy Leon's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Leon hasn't played in the majors in 2023, but he's getting an opportunity now that Sean Murphy (hip) is on the injured list. He's had a rough season in the minors, posting a .166/.245/.358 slash line across 58 games. He'll fill the backup role behind Drake Baldwin.
The Atlanta Braves outrighted Sandy Leon to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
To clear a spot for the reinstated Ronald Acuna Jr. (calf), the Braves outrighted Sandy Leon to Triple-A. Leon will now have the option to either elect free agency or remain with the organization.
The Atlanta Braves added Sandy Leon to their major league roster.
Fantasy Impact
Leon will add depth behind the plate for Atlanta. Stuart Fairchild was designated for assignment as the corresponding move.
