GUILLERMO HEREDIA NEWS

Heading overseas Heredia agreed to a contract with the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization on Tuesday, Francys Romero of beisbolfr.com reports.

Impact Heredia was designated for assignment by Atlanta last week and has opted to continue his career overseas. The 31-year-old appeared in 74 games in 2022 and had a .158/.220/.342 slash line with three home runs and eight RBI.

Braves land RHP Santana from Texas, cut RHP Stephens

The Atlanta Braves have acquired right-handed reliever Dennis Santana from the Texas Rangers and designated pitcher Jackson Stephens for assignment

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • Associated Press

Bumped from 40-man roster Heredia was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday.

Impact Heredia hung around as short-side platoon option for Atlanta these past two seasons, but he fell out of favor after hitting .158 with a 39 percent strikeout in 74 games in 2022. He could be a non-roster invitee to spring training.

Recalled by Atlanta Heredia was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Impact Heredia was sent to the minors Sunday but will rejoin the major-league roster less than a week later after Ehire Adrianza (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday. Heredia saw sporadic playing time prior to his demotion and will likely serve in a depth role now that he's back in the big leagues.

Braves pitcher Ian Anderson sent down to Triple-A

The Atlanta Braves have optioned struggling right-hander Ian Anderson to Triple-A Gwinnett prior to their series finale with the New York Mets

AUGUST 7, 2022 • Associated Press

Sent to minors Heredia was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact The 31-year-old has appeared in only four games with seven plate appearances since the All-Star break, and he'll head to Triple-A to make room on the big-league roster for catcher Chadwick Tromp. Heredia has a .549 OPS in 47 games this year and could rejoin Atlanta down the stretch if the team needs outfield depth.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Seeing scarce playing time Heredia remains on the bench for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Heredia has picked up only three starts since June 2, and his playing-time outlook doesn't look to have improved even after Adam Duvall suffered a season-ending wrist injury. So long as all of Ronald Acuna, Eddie Rosario, Marcell Ozuna, Michael Harris and William Contreras are healthy, Heredia doesn't look like he'll have a path for even short-side platoon work out of the Atlanta outfield.

Riley, Wright lead streaking Braves to 7-2 win over Angels

Austin Riley had a homer and two singles, Kyle Wright won his 12th game to take the NL lead, and the Atlanta Braves kept rolling with a 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels

Home Run in Win Heredia went 1-for-2 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Athletics.

Impact Heredia hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the seventh inning off Lou Trivino. The outfielder has seen limited time this season and a .140/.218/.400 slash line will not help his case for more playing time. The home run was his first since early May and only his third of the season.

Slugs second homer Heredia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Mets.

Impact Heredia was a late addition to the lineup after Travis Demeritte (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Heredia took advantage of the unexpected opportunity and smacked his second home run of the season in the eighth inning. He's served primarily as a depth outfielder -- particularly since Ronald Acuna's return -- and has only four hits in 33 plate appearances this season.

Added to lineup Heredia is starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Impact The 31-year-old was initially slated to be out of the lineup for the fifth time in the last six games, but he'll start in right field and bat ninth after Travis Demeritte (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Heredia is hitting .111 with a home run, a double, four runs and two RBI this year.

Belts first long ball Heredia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Los Angeles starter Clayton Kershaw cruised through four innings before Heredia got to him for a solo homer in the sixth. The long ball was Heredia's third hit and first home run this season. The 31-year-old hasn't hit more than six homers in any MLB campaign, so there's no reason to expect this to be part of a power surge.

Scores three times Heredia went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact Heredia made the most of his first start of the season, but he's unlikely to see a major uptick in opportunities as a result. He filled in in right field for the lefty-hitting Eddie Rosario in right field due to the Nationals bringing a lefty (Patrick Corbin) to the hill, but Rosario isn't necessarily viewed as a strict platoon player for Atlanta.

APRIL 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Heredia isn't starting Saturday's game against the Reds, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Even though Ronald Acuna (knee) has been sidelined to begin the regular season, Heredia will be out of the lineup for a third straight game to begin the year. Adam Duvall will start in center field while Alex Dickerson serves as the designated hitter Saturday.
