What is the story about?

The Braves made a roster move on Tuesday, claiming RHP Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Yankees.

To make room on the roster, the Braves added LHP Joey Wentz to the 60-Day IL. This is the result of Wentz tearing his ACL a few weeks ago, which will cause him to miss all of 2026.

Bido has bounced around teams (6 total) all off-season, including

being previously claimed and waived by the Braves a few months ago. While his production in 2024 was intriguing, he fell off quite a bit in 2025. The interesting note with Bido is that he is without minor league options.

With the Braves having now claimed Bido twice this offseason, it certainly seems they see something in his arsenal that could lead to untapped potential. With all the injuries that have occurred to the pitching staff, it will be worth watching to see if Atlanta makes any further moves before Opening Day.
