Kyle Farmer and Dominic Smith make Atlanta Braves roster and sign big league contracts

Infielders Kyle Farmer and Dominic Smith have made the Atlanta Braves’ major league roster and signed big league contracts after attending spring training with minor league deals

MARCH 21 • Associated Press

Gets split contract with Atlanta Atlanta signed Farmer to a one-year split contract Saturday.

Impact The move means Farmer will be a member of Atlanta's Opening Day roster. The 35-year-old infielder was invited to spring training by Atlanta in early February. Across 12 Grapefruit League games, he posted a .400/.417/.514 slash line with one home run and five RBI in 36 plate appearances. Farmer's path to an Opening Day roster was made more clear after Jurickson Profar was suspended for the entire 2026 season after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for a second time in the last year.

Could find way onto roster Farmer has a better chance of making Atlanta's 26-man roster in the wake of a season-long suspension to Jurickson Profar, Gabriel Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The non-roster invitee played double-digit games at all four infield positions for the Rockies last season while slashing .252/.325/.441 against left-handed pitching, a skill set that could fit for Atlanta as the team scrambles to replace Profar. Farmer's ability to handle shortstop would allow Mauricio Dubon to serve as a platoon partner for Mike Yastrzemski in left field, although Jorge Mateo could also fill that role, while Eli White might just settle into that spot in left field himself.

Invited to spring training with ATL Atlanta offered Farmer a non-roster invite to spring training, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact Farmer spent the 2025 campaign with Colorado, appearing in 97 MLB games and slashing .217/.280/.365 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 24 runs scored and a 17:66 BB:K across 300 plate appearances. He'll face an uphill battle making Atlanta's big-league roster

Gets chance at second base Farmer went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Sunday against the Twins.

Impact The Rockies' middle infield has been in flux with the return of Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan Ritter (finger) and Thairo Estrada (thumb) both on the injured list. Tovar was on the bench Sunday, allowing Farmer and Orlando Arcia the chance to be in the lineup -- with the former at second base. Moving forward, Arcia will presumably get the first chance at the role, though he and Farmer have split time evenly since Estrada has been sidelined.
