Multiple reports have indicated that the Atlanta Braves have claimed right-handed pitcher Alexis Días off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Díaz, 28, was the closer for the Cincinnati Reds from 2022 to 2024 collecting 75 saves over those three seasons. An All-Star in 2023, he finished fifth in the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2022.

Díaz struggled with a high walk rate during his time with the Reds, who traded him to the Dodgers in May. He pitched in only nine games with Los Angeles before being designated for assignment.
