The Atlanta Braves have signed Bryan De La Cruz to a one-year contract worth $860,000 in the majors and $180,000 in the minors. This move provides the Braves with additional outfield depth while Ronald Acuña Jr. recovers from knee surgery.

De La Cruz, who recently turned 28, became a free agent after the Pittsburgh Pirates did not extend a contract offer. He has played in the majors for parts of four seasons, showcasing a career average of .253 with 58 home runs and 208 RBIs.
