Rays acquire infielder Wisely and left-hander Waldichuk from Braves for cash or player to be named

The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired infielder Brett Wisely and left-hander Ken Waldichuk from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later

JANUARY 13 • Associated Press

Traded to Rays The Rays acquired Wisely and Ken Waldichuk from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Impact Wisely came up through the minors with the Rays before being traded to the Giants in November 2022. The 26-year-old is a career .214/.265/.319 hitter over parts of three major-league seasons, but he's slashed .275/.372/.433 at the Triple-A level and can play all over the diamond. Wisely is out of minor-league options and could compete for the Rays' opening at second base, though a reserve role is likelier.

Impact The move frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of George Soriano, who was claimed off waivers. Wisely was a waiver claim himself of Atlanta in September and is a career .214/.265/.319 hitter over parts of three major-league seasons. The 26-year-old can play all over the diamond, but a lack of minor-league options remaining could hurt his appeal on waivers.

Drawing start at second base Wisely will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier in the day and he will receive the first opportunity to fill in at second base for the injured Ozzie Albies (hand). The 26-year-old Wisely sports a career .217/.263/.324 batting line over parts of three big-league seasons.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Atlanta recalled Wisely from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact Wisely was claimed off waivers from the Giants last week. He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Ozzie Albies (hand) and could see some starts at second base in Albies' place down the stretch. Wisely is a career .217/.263/.324 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Atlanta Atlanta claimed Wisely off waivers from San Francisco on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact Wisely lost his place on the Giants' 40-man roster following the promotion of Bryce Eldridge, but the former will reclaim a roster spot upon moving to Atlanta. He'll most likely remain in Triple-A for the remainder of the season after slashing .253/.332/.387 at Sacramento.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by San Francisco The Giants designated Wisely for assignment Monday.

Impact The move makes room on the Giants' 40-man roster for Bryce Eldridge, who will make his major-league debut against the Diamondbacks on Monday. Wisely has spent most of the season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .253/.332/.387 with 12 steals, 17 doubles, seven home runs and 42 RBI in 342 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Relegated to Sacramento The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old will be pushed out of the Giants' infield room following the return of Christian Koss (hamstring) from the injured list. Wisely owns a .208/.269/.354 slash line through 54 plate appearances in the big leagues this season but figures to be on the shortlist to return to San Francisco if another Giants infielder goes down.

Logs RBI in loss Wisely went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Wisely cracked a ground-rule double to right-center field in the second inning, driving in a run and pulling the Giants within two. The 26-year-old has seen limited playing time recently, though he did draw starts at second base in back-to-back games. Over 10 outings this month, Wisely is slashing .269/.296/.500 with six RBI, four runs scored, three doubles, a home run and a stolen base across 27 plate appearances.

Sitting in fourth straight game Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Wisely made three starts in a four-game stretch last week, but he's now hit the bench for four straight contests. With both Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt recently returning from the injured list, Wisely's window for receiving steady at-bats appears to have closed.

Last Night in Baseball: The Giants Won on a Wild Walk-Off Inside-The-Park Homer

Multi-hit effort in win Wisely went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Wisely lined a two-run double to right field in the sixth inning, giving the Giants a 7-1 lead. He added a single in the eighth, delivering his second multi-hit performance through four appearances this month. During that span, he's slashing .385/.385/.769 with four RBI, two runs scored, two doubles and one home run across 13 plate appearances.

Homers off bench in loss Wisely went hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Wisely's first homer of the year got the Giants on the board in the seventh inning. He's gone 6-for-21 (.286) across nine games during this stint in the majors, and three of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. Even with modest success at the plate, Wisely's chance to carve out playing time at third base is likely to end Saturday when Matt Chapman (hand) comes off the injured list. Wisely can still push Tyler Fitzgerald for time at second base, but the former's versatility on defense makes him arguably more valuable as a bench bat.
