Austin Riley - Signs decade-long deal with Atlanta Riley signed a 10-year, $212 million contract with Atlanta on Monday.
Impact Riley has followed up a stellar 2021 season with an even better campaign, so Atlanta decided to lock him up through 2032 -- and perhaps another year should the team exercise a $20 million club option for 2033. With Riley under contract for a decade, he will man the hot corner and occupy a prominent spot in Atlanta's batting order for years to come.

Robinson Canó - Time over in Atlanta Atlanta designated Cano for assignment Monday.
Impact Cano recently lost hold of his role as Atlanta's primary second baseman, and his status as a left-handed hitter with limited defensive utility made him an ill fit in a bench role. As a result, Atlanta opted to replace him with Ehire Adrianza, who was acquired from the Nationals on Monday and is a more traditional fit for a utility role. Given that he's now been let go by three teams this season after slashing a collective .150/.183/.190 with a career-worst 24 percent strikeout rate over 104 plate appearances in the majors, the 39-year-old Cano's prolific run in the big leagues could be over.

Ehire Adrianza - Dealt to Atlanta Atlanta acquired Adrianza from Washington on Monday in exchange for minor-league outfielder Trey Harris.
Impact The veteran utility man will be beginning his second stint in Atlanta, with whom he joined during the club's 2021 World Series-winning season. Just like a season ago, Atlanta presumably envisions Adrianza serving as a backup at three spots in the infield as well as the two corner-outfield spots, but his opportunities to start will be few and far between while the team is at optimal health. After missing the beginning of the season with a quadriceps injury, Adrianza debuted for Washington in early June and slashed .179/.255/.202 across 94 plate appearances prior to being traded. Atlanta designated second baseman Robinson Cano for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Adrianza.

William Woods - Back in action at Triple-A Woods (ankle) was reinstated from Triple-A Gwinnett's 7-day injured list Saturday and struck out one over a scoreless inning later that day.
Impact Woods had been on Gwinnett's IL since May 17 before he was cleared to rejoin the affiliate after making three relief appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 23-year-old right-hander made his MLB debut earlier this season and could re-emerge as a relief option for Atlanta in August or September now that he's healthy again at Triple-A.
