Scores camp invite Harris was invited to major-league camp Monday.
Impact The invitation highlights Harris' potential, though he's a long way from reaching it. Still just 19 years old, the outfielder hasn't played a game above Low-A and didn't look good in a small sample of 22 games at that level for Rome in 2019, hitting .183/.269/.232. He has several seasons of development left before pushing for a roster spot.

Invited to big-league camp Ball was invited to Atlanta's major-league camp Monday.
Impact Ball will get to work out with the team's big-league coaching staff for a few weeks, though he won't be joining them on a permanent basis any time soon. He impressed in 62 games in the low minors in 2019 after getting drafted in the 24th round, hitting .329/.395/.628, but the canceled minor-league campaign last season robbed him of the chance to continue his climb up the ladder. Strictly a first baseman, Ball will need to keep slugging in the upper minors before earning serious consideration for a roster spot.

Earns camp invite Shewmake was invited to Atlanta's major-league spring training camp Monday.
Impact Shewmake was only just drafted in 2019, but his big-league debut may not be too far off. He advanced all the way to Double-A Mississippi in his first professional season, though he played just 14 games there and struggled at the plate. The canceled minors season last year prevented him from continuing his climb, so he may still have to conquer both Double-A and Triple-A before pushing for a roster spot.

Set to join major-league camp Langeliers was invited to big-league camp Monday.
Impact Langeliers will get the chance to catch Atlanta's big-league arms for a few weeks, though he probably won't be joining them on a permanent basis this year. The 2019 ninth-overall pick played 54 games at the Low-A level that season but was prevented from advancing up the ladder last year due to the canceled minor-league campaign.

Joining big-league camp Waters received an invitation to major-league spring training Monday.
Impact The 22-year-old doesn't appear to be a favorite to make the Opening Day roster, but a debut sometime this season seems very likely. He's already reached the Triple-A level, though he struggled there in 26 games for Gwinnett in 2019, striking out 36.1 percent of the time en route to an 84 wRC+. He whiffed a far more palatable 25.2 percent of the time at lower levels, however, so it would hardly be a surprise to see him sort things out and push for a big-league job fairly early in the year.

Signs with Atlanta Kipnis signed with Atlanta on Monday, the veteran announced on his personal Twitter page.
Impact The deal is a minor-league one which includes an invitation to big-league camp, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network, though there's seemingly a strong chance Kipnis will be able to win a roster spot. The 33-year-old's star days are long behind him, but he had a solid season last year for his hometown Cubs, producing an above-average batting line (.237/.341/.404) for the first time since 2016. He's not someone a contender would want to turn to for everyday at-bats at this stage of his career, but he should be a capable backup and injury fill-in as long as he ages gracefully.

FEBRUARY 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Picks up win in arbitration Soroka (Achilles) defeated the Braves in arbitration Saturday and will make $2.8 million this season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Atlanta had filed for just $2.1 million. Soroka's case was presumably based on his strong showing prior to last season, as an Achilles tear ended his 2020 campaign after just three starts. He underwent surgery in August, and while he's been able to throw off flat ground for several months, it's not yet guaranteed that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list to start the year. His status should become clearer once he arrives at camp.

Claimed by Atlanta Demeritte was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Friday.
Impact The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by Detroit last week and will make his way back to Atlanta. The Tigers acquired Demeritte from the Braves in 2019 as part of the package for reliever Shane Greene, but the young outfielder will now be rejoining his former team. Demeritte appeared in 18 games for Detroit in 2020 and went 5-for-29 with 14 strikeouts.
