News summary

The Atlanta Braves have acquired utility infielder Cavan Biggio from the San Francisco Giants for cash considerations, as they seek to bolster their roster amid numerous injuries. Biggio, 29, is the son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio and was on a minor league contract, allowing the trade despite the passing of the July 30 deadline; however, he is ineligible for the postseason due to being acquired after September 1. With key players like Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies out long-term, the Braves are in a challenging position, currently three games behind the wildcard spot. Biggio's recent performance has been inconsistent, batting .197 with a .622 OPS this season, but he adds much-needed depth to the infield. The Braves' acquisition aligns with their ongoing strategy of adding spare parts to navigate a difficult season. Despite the challenges, they have a roughly 60% chance of making the playoffs, contingent on the return of their injured players.
