Cavan Biggio's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Atlanta Braves selected the contract of infielder Cavan Biggio from the minors on Wednesday and optioned infielder Luke Williams to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Ozzie Albies (wrist) is still recovering from a fractured wrist, and now Whit Merrifield (foot) could be in danger of landing on the 10-day injured list if he doesn't recover soon after fouling a ball off his foot recently. For now, the 29-year-old Biggio should see ample time at the keystone in Atlanta as the team tries to secure one of the final wild-card spots in the National League over the last few weeks of the season. Biggio was acquired from the San Francisco Giants last weekend. He's unlikely to move the fantasy needle at all the last few weeks of the season after hitting .197/.316/.306 with five homers and 19 RBI in 74 combined games with the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024.

The Los Angeles Dodgers designated infielder/outfielder Cavan Biggio for assignment prior to Monday's series opener against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. After hitting .192 (14-for-73) with three homers and 10 RBI in 30 games for the Dodgers since being acquired on June 12 from the Toronto Blue Jays, Biggio was the odd man out on LA's roster as superstar first baseman Freddie Freeman was reinstated from the family emergency list on Monday. If Biggio clears waivers, he will either be optioned to the minor leagues or become an unrestricted free agent. It's been a rough ride since promising 2019 and 2020 campaigns for the 29-year-old former top prospect, who's slashing an uninspiring .217/.325/.349 in 979 at-bats over his last four seasons.

Jeff Passan of ESPN.com has reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired superutilityman Cavan Biggio from the Toronto Blue Jays. Biggio, 29, was designated for assignment last week after spending over five years with the franchise. Biggio struggled this season offensively and was hitting .200 with two homers and nine RBI over 110 at-bats this season. His addition to the Dodgers could mean that utilitymen, Enrique Hernandez or Chris Taylor could be replaced with Biggio. Regardless, none of the three hold value and can be left on the waiver wire for now.
