The former SF Giants infield prospect was placed on waivers in September but did not get claimed. He remained with the Braves organization and was added back to the roster during the Braves playoff run.
Culberson joined Pablo Sandoval, Adam Duvall, Will Smith, and Mark Melancon on a Braves roster that was loaded with former Giants players.
On the year, the right-handed bat record just one hit in seven at-bats before being placed on waivers. Once he was added back to the roster for the postseason, he did not see much more activity, but he did collect two hits in three at-bats in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
